Sacramento's police chief justified the use of the device on Wednesday.

By Kayla Epstein Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow May 22 at 10:12 PM A video showing Sacramento police placing a “spit hood” over a 12-year-old boy’s head during an arrest has led to further criticism of a department already under scrutiny following the death of Stephon Clark, an unarmed black man who was shot and killed by police in March 2018.

A lawyer for the family maintains that the boy did nothing to justify his arrest, and the use of the hood was extreme. The Washington Post does not name suspects under the age of 18 unless a judge or magistrate has ordered that they be tried as adults. It begins as the boy is being held against the wall of what appears to be a Wienerschnitzel hot dog restaurant by two officers, an employee of the fast food chain, and a man who appears to be a private security guard. The boy asks repeatedly why he is being arrested and calls for his mother as an officer places him in handcuffs. He struggles and is eventually pulled toward a police car by an officer and the guard, while he and a bystander demand his parents be called.

Black Lives Matter Sacramento founder Tanya Faison told The Washington Post that the video was filmed by an adult who was friends with the boy’s family, and provided to the chapter by the boy’s grandmother. The videos do not capture what led to the boy’s arrest. Harris said the boy was attending a nearby carnival with his sister and an adult chaperone that evening, and the adult had asked him to get change from his car to use at the fair. The boy obliged, but Harris said a security guard grew suspicious and gave chase.

This rag is worthless to read.

Who is training these police? These stories are scaring the shit out of people all over the country. Money needs to be found to train police properly for OUR protection, they're aware losing the public's trust, and I have 4 generations of good cops in my family,but am worried.

Don't spit on an officer and they won't use a hood. I'm fine with a reasonable response to ensure officer safety. This appears reasonable given the person in custody spit.

Ok. Was he spitting?

The police should have just aborted him.

ban the police

That’s terrible the boy should be allowed to spit

the punk got taught a lesson

So what

Putting a 'spit hood' on that spitting miscreant was a CommonSense move.

Because I’m sure he was spitting...

Very inhumen treatment , where is the law , which country is it .

12 year olds spit too you know!

What happened before, dammit?

Maybe the poor 12 year old child shouldn't have spit at officers in the first place. Jesus ... those cops are tough. Sure told that 12 year old. What exactly was this 12yr old doing to be chased by security and then the police? It’s not stated in this report. There is always a beginning to an incident. Spit bag, never heard of it. Wow🤭🤭🤭🤭
