The Syracuse Police Department said they are looking into the actions of one of their officers after a viral video showed him detaining a crying 8-year-old boy. 'Look at how he maltreated my son,' his father said.
The video, which has been viewed thousands of times, shows the crying boy being held from behind by an officer after he was detained for allegedly stealing a bag of chips. The boy was then placed inside a police vehicle.
"I felt his terror and decided to intervene," he said."There's a way that the police need to interact with kids and what they did was completely unacceptable." "I saw the video then I was very mad... An officer, who wears the uniform, who supposed to protect life and property, look at how he maltreated my son," Weah said. The Syracuse Police Department said in a statement that the boy was not placed in handcuffs and officers met with the child's father. No charges were filed during the incident.
"The incident, including the officers' actions and body-worn cameras, are being reviewed," the statement said.
