She's 9; there is no justification for this kind of abuse other than to terrorize and traumatize our youth.

"You're acting like a child,"
"I am a child!"
"This is your last chance, otherwise pepper spray's going in your eyeballs."
"Just spray her."

"She is a child."

There is absolutely no excuse for this. A nine year old girl in crisis was yelled at, handcuffed, pepper-sprayed and told to "stop acting like a child". She is a child. She needed comfort and help not more violence. We must do better, and we must do better now.

Police contract be dammed, I want these police officers fired TODAY. There is no excuse to mace a 9-year-old girl, a child who was helplessly handcuffed & in your control. Enough with the platitudes & enough w/ “good intentions”. Action today.https://t.co/4rNgIgtqrX @RochesterPAB

Yes! @NYSA_Majority will continue to push for revenue and #TaxTheRich to help raise that revenue!

@EWestwig @annakelles Depends on the office, and when they check incoming portal messages versus phone message. Benefit of phone is you're likely to get a person, but there's nothing wrong with reaching out via both methods to cover all bases.

We are honored to partner with Governor Cuomo and the State of New York to create the new Public Health Corps.

COVID has laid bare the inequities in our society. It has showed low tide in America and exposed the ugliness.

True justice – racial justice, social justice, economic justice – must be New York’s banner to carry in America’s post-COVID reconstruction.

Joe Biden: "How could it be in America that parents must drive to a parking lot of a coffee shop or a library for wifi...so their children can sit in their car, participate in class and do their homework?"

"That's unacceptable in the United States." https://t.co/nzNA318R9y
