Washington, DC, Attorney General Karl Racine says his office is reviewing the district's policies on how police interact with juveniles after a video surfaced this week of a police officer forcibly handcuffing a 9-year-old boy
The video, which aired on WTTG, shows an officer chasing after a small boy who was leaning against a car and apparently talked back to the officer. Racine called the video"obviously concerning."It depicts the boy"being horse-collared by the officer," DC Councilman Charles Allen told CNN. He said the video would cause"distrust and damage," for the whole community's relationship with law enforcement.
In a letter addressed to the police chief and the deputy mayor, Allen wrote that it was difficult to"capture my visceral reaction to a small, young, African-American boy screaming as he struggles against handcuffs in the middle of the street."The video comes after a similar incident in March, in which a 10-year-old was arrested.Allen wants to make sure these run-ins between cops and kids don't keep happening.
