Police officers in California’s capital are coming under fire after a video surfaced showing them forcing a 12-year-old black child to the ground and placing a “spit mask” over his head while he was in handcuffs. The incident occurred in April near a carnival in Sacramento and resulted in the child being arrested on charges of battery on an officer and resisting arrest, said Sacramento Police Department officials. The boy was later turned over to the custody of his mother.
