A Rochester police officer was "required" to spray an "irritant" in the face of a handcuffed minor during a mental health call Friday, the department announced Saturday morning.

Officers were called to a home on Avenue B at 3:30 p.m. Friday for "family trouble," involving a potentially stolen vehicle. During the call, officers were approached by the custodial parent of a minor, who told the officer she feared her daughter would harm herself and others.

The child ran away from the home and was apprehended on nearby Harris Street. "The minor became agitated when she saw her custodial parent," an RPD release stated.

The child pulled away and then kicked at officers, police said. This action "required" an officer to taken the minor down to the ground. Then "for the minor's safety and at the request of the custodial parent on scene," the child was handcuffed and put in the back of a police car as they waited for an American Medical Response ambulance to arrive.

Again, police said the girl refused to listen to police and disobeyed multiple commands to put her feet in the car. "This required an officer to use an irritant on the minor," police said.

The department didn't release any requirements or policies that highlighted the need to react in this manner.

The child was taken to Rochester General Hospital under the state's Mental Hygiene law, "where she received the services and care that she needed," police said.

The girl was treated and released to her family.

The police department promised to review all body-worn camera footage and "conduct an internal review to make sure policy has not been violated."

Stupid ass pathetic cop can't control a 9 year old without assaulting her. A grown adult should be able to restrain a 9 year old girl without needing pepper spray

I would never call the cops over a family dispute. Maybe would never call the cops unless it was life or death even then I don't know.

If someone breaks into your house and threatens you, even if you call the cops, you are still on your because whatever is going to happen will have happened by the time the cops get there.

Should never call a cop for a mental health check. I don't know how many stories I've heard over the years of them murdering the person who has the crisis instead of helping them. And that's all I'll say because everything else I feel will get me modded

I'm aware what pepper spray can do. I'm also aware of what a cop can physically do as well while restraining a person. Honestly, I'd rather take the one that's less likely to accidentally murder the kid.

No conflict resolution skills, kids clearly in an abusive situation that shes trying to escape. Where I'm from they would be dismissed and in court on child abuse charges themselves. Shes 9, thats the same as my own daughter, the video made me really angry. The hell is wrong with them? Because they certainly aren't normally functioning human beings.

Stuff like this happens way more often than people think. When I was little, SWAT raided my friends house. Threw everyone on the ground, screaming curse words in everyones faces. Entire family got arrested. Home torn apart. My friend was 9.

They had the wrong house lol, just messed up the addresses or something. Policing in America has no bridle on it.

To make things worse when asked if what happened was truamatic for the child, the cops said "Well you think we were bad? Look at what her mom was saying to her!"

So basically this is an coordinated attempt to create a Supervillain

Policing by consent, like most of the modern world has, would help with this stuff.

In most modern countries this just wouldn't be playing out and certainly there would be no attempts at justification. Only prosecution.

Actually I'm on conservatives side for this one

Sure it seems bad for cases like this but could you imagine what would happen if any allegation of misconduct for police resulted in months of no pay?

Even if they didn't do anything wrong?

You do realize who police deal with every day right? Criminals and drug addicts who will accuse police of anything.

You can't make that the standard or else there would be no police force at all.

Just imagine someone falsely accused you of urinating on them in their sleep and then as a result you didn't get paid for 4 months despite being innocent?

Now imagine that but 50% of the population hates you and you deal with terrible people every day.

I feel like the guys against suspension with pay are purely emotional and haven't thought it through. It makes logical sense as the standard

If this guy ends up getting charged for brutally assaulting a child then you might have a point. If he doesnt, then it will have been nothing but a paid vacation for a sadist.
