'Heart wrenching video to watch.' Gov. Hochul comments on video of Syracuse police encounter with 8-year-old boy.
"As a mother, that was a heart wrenching video to witness. A child weeping, being pulled by the police officers, put in the back of a police car, over a bag of potato chips, at least that's what the evidence says right now," Hochul said during an unrelated event in the city.
"I know that the mayor is working closely with the police department to get to the bottom of everything, but also make sure we do protect our children, that they're handled in a different way when it comes to encounters with law enforcement."Authorities are reviewing body camera video from all three officers and a nearby surveillance camera.
