17:57Now PlayingThe Rochester Police Department is under investigation again after body-camera footage was released showing officers handcuffing and pepper-spraying a 9-year-old girl.
Officers say they were responding to a family disturbance call on Friday where the young girl allegedly said she wanted to kill herself and her mom. Video of the incident shows police wrestling the 9 year old girl to the ground in the snow. One officer tells the girl "you're acting like a child" to which she responds "I am a child".
According to the Rochester Deputy Police Chief, Andre Anderson the girl then tried to run away, so then officers handcuffed her and attempted to take her to a hospital in the patrol car.
Anderson says the 9 year old started screaming "I want my dad" and resisted the officers efforts to get her into the patrol car. Officers then told her this was her last chance before eventually pepper spraying.
This incident comes after the same department was investigated after officers placed a hood over Daniel Prude's head, as he sat naked in the middle of the street. He ended up suffocating to death.
