Police handcuff Black girl, 10, wearing pyjamas during raid in Sacramento 1

Sacramento’s police department has come under fire after body camera footage of an officer handcuffing a 10-year-old Black girl was released this week. The video from February last year was reportedly played at a Sacramento City Council meeting on Tuesday 20 June. It shows the girl, dressed in red and black pyjamas, being handcuffed while she’s crying, after she opened the door to police officers conducting a probation raid in connection with a stolen car and firearms investigation. The police account states the investigation involved a “known gang member” who was on probation “and posted both pictures and videos with firearms”.
