The video clip, also shared by Twitter user @davenewworld , was made public by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, a co-plaintiff in the suit. The footage shows the boy sitting in a common area as deputies talk to him. Less than a minute later, an officer takes the child’s wrists and starts cuffing him.
“Stop, you’re hurting me,” the boy cries.
“We don’t want to hurt you,” an officer replies. “We just want you to walk with us, OK?”
The boy cries “stop” repeatedly and struggles with the officers. Advertisement Hide
Later, the boy writhes, and an officer aggressively grabs the boy’s neck, saying, “You’re going to stop. Look at me.”
