Police used pepper spray on a 5-yr-old girl
 

Another inquiry into police misuse of pepper spray has been launched after a five-year-old Auckland girl was sprayed during a domestic dispute.


Police were called to the New Lynn address, in west Auckland, at 3am yesterday to help settle an argument between the girl's uncle and his partner.

Police used pepper spray as they were arresting the uncle outside, and Desharna Soloman, 5, walked into a cloud of it, the Herald on Sunday reported.

Desharna's family said one officer sprayed three other family members watching the arrest, two of whom were pregnant.

Another uncle, Shannon Solomon, who was sprayed said police gave them no warning.

"He was spraying everywhere. He was going shhhh, shhhh, shhhh to get us back," Mr Solomon said.

Desharna's aunt said the girl starting screaming.

The family said they intend to lay a formal complaint to the police complaints authority.

Police Association spokesman Greg O'Connor said he had looked into the incident and believed the use of spray was justified.

The incident follows another west Auckland inquiry after 35-year-old Scott MacDonald was pepper-sprayed as he lay hand-cuffed on the ground outside a charity boxing match in Henderson last May.

The act was caught on camera by a television cameraman and sparked public outcry and questions over police misuse of the spray.

Fucking hell. Thats bad.


But why was she crying advertisement?

kids are resiliant, she'll get over it

she'll probably be mentally scarred. She'll hate the police for the rest of her life.

kids are dangerous, and police protect us!!you should know that!! he should call back up

I bet it was the girl who was having the argument with her uncle and the uncle's partner called the police because she was turning violent.

she could have been harboring weapons of mass destruction. a clandestine network of chemical, biological and possibley nuclear weapons and an al quida opperative and threat. these kids today huh.

lol


Actually it was more likely that the policeman was just being a fucktard.

hahahhahah yeah, she is probably working for al quaida!! she is a fucking terrorist!!

damn straight. put that little bitch in line.

right on.

Cantankerous are you Satan?

why did you have to go and say a thing like that?

its probably her

hahahahhahahahah!!!!!!!!
this thread rules

no! who the fuck told you that?

Sounds like an accident to me.

I don't even have to write anything. I make my statement with:

I agree.Though it does sound like a lot of spraying, maybe it was needed. I also liked the part about the prgnant women, like getting sprayed in the eyes will fuck up yr baby or something.

your signature is hillarious, isn't that from an a-ha video (but obviously the kid from family guy has been edited into it)?
