What began as an afternoon anti-police protest in Rochester, New York, turned violent Monday evening. Chanting protesters began overturning police barricades to get to the station.

Black Lives Matter protesters took to the streets of Rochester Monday afternoon to protest in response to a nine-year-old girl who was pepper-sprayed by police late last week. An officer used handcuffs and “an irritant” on the minor who reportedly threatened to harm herself, RochesterFirst.com reported.

So why'd the cops cuff her and bomb her in the first place?

You'll have to ask the cops that were there. Apparently they felt she was resisting and causing trouble and reportedly threatened to harm herself to the point they determined she had to be pepper sprayed to control her. The only question was, was the situation to the point were it was OK to use it on a minor in a situation like that? Don't know!..

One wonders if any of the LEOs involved heard a little voice in the back of the head, "hey maybe nuking a 9 year old girl isn't such a good idea."

Sometimes cops who get a BLM protest simply deserve one. And again, another northern PD where a strong union blocks reform. Seems like a pattern doesn't it?

Re: Union. Possibly a problem. But, given the realities of first responders in general and police in particular, it would be a much greater problem were they to be prohibited from organizing themselves. Just ask teachers, nurses, etc. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.
