Why Was a 9-Year-Old Girl Pepper Sprayed by Cops?

Community outrage is growing over graphic police body camera footage showing a distraught 9-year-old girl being handcuffed and pepper-sprayed as officers try to force her into the back of a squad car in Rochester, New York. The girl is heard sobbing and screaming, “I want my dad!“ as police grapple with her, at one point pushing her into the snow as they try to handcuff her. Police responded to a family disturbance call, and had been told the girl was threatening to kill herself and her mother. #InsideEdition
