Sacramento cops face criticism after video circulated online showing officers handcuffing a 12-year-old boy, who is black, pinning him face down on the ground and placing a sack over his head, and keeping it on him after he says multiple times, “I can’t breathe.”

The incident occurred in late April, per a Wednesday release from the city’s police department. It garnered wider attention in recent weeks after a bystander’s video circulated on social media.

In the police officer’s body camera video released Wednesday, an officer is seen running over to a young black boy who remains unnamed, but police confirmed to HuffPost is 12 years old. The boy stands with his arms held by a man ― who wears a shirt for Wienerschnitzel hot dog company ― as another man, who police identified to HuffPost as a private security guard, stands by.

The officer runs up, grabs the boy’s arms, pins him against a wall and starts to handcuff him.

“What am I under arrest for?” the boy asks at least seven times.

“He’s been having people buy shit for him over in the Walgreens,” says a voice that appears to be the guard’s. At another point a voice says the boy was “trespassing.”

Bystanders can be heard protesting: “He’s a little ass kid,” and “Call his parents, you can’t do that.” The boy repeatedly says “let me go,” and at one point says, “My parents should be here.”

After walking him over to the police car, the officer, now joined by other police, pins the boy face down on the ground. The boy curses several times, calls the cops “racist” and mentions “police brutality.” One female officer holding him down at one point is heard saying, “He is just a little terrorist.”

A female officer asks for a “spit mask” and a third officer places a white sack over his head ― which police identified as a “spit mask” or “spit sock hood” in their release. Earlier in the video the officer could be heard saying, “That’s fucking it, he spit on me,” and the boy said, “Yeah, I spit on you.”

“I can’t breathe,” the boy says multiple times, on the ground with the sack over his head. “Take this bag off my head,” he asks multiple times, as the cops put him in the back of their car, the bag still over his head.
