Rochester police officers handcuff and pepper-spray a 9-year-old girl after call of 'family trouble'

"Police officers in Rochester, New York, handcuffed and pepper-sprayed a 9-year-old girl while responding to what a police official called a report of "family trouble" in an incident sharply criticized by city officials.

Two body camera videos of Friday's incident released by the police department on Sunday show officers restraining the child, putting her in handcuffs and attempting to get her inside the back of a police vehicle as she repeatedly cries and calls for her father.
After the girl fails to follow commands to put her feet inside the car, the officers are seen pepper-spraying her.

The girl was transported to Rochester General Hospital, where she was later released, according to Rochester Deputy Police Chief Andre Anderson.
The officers involved were suspended Monday, according to a news release from city officials. CNN has reached out to the police union for comment."

Wie man sieht ist das Mädchen nicht allzu groß und paßt ohne Probleme hinten auf den Rücksitz des Polizeiautos:

Wieso man jemand, dessen Arme bereits hinter dem Körper mit Handschellen gefesselt sind und sich bereits im Polizeiauto befindet und einfach nur nach ihrem Vater schreit dann noch mit Pfefferspray (was eigentlich zur Abwehr und Notwehr dienen soll und nicht als Angriffswaffe) besprühen muß, erschließt sich mir nicht.
