據福克斯新聞報導，當地時間5月30日，在美國西雅圖一場抗議活動上出現了讓所有人都憤怒的一幕。
一個不到10歲的孩子遭美國警察辣椒水襲擊。被襲擊後，小女孩撕心裂肺地哭喊，場面令人十分心痛。
上周末，一名小女孩邊咳嗽邊哭泣的畫面在社交媒體上流傳。旁邊的人把一種類似牛奶的液體倒進她的眼睛裡，以清出化學物質。
Images began circulating on social media over the weekend of a little girl who was coughing and crying while bystanders poured a milk-like substance into her eyes to flush out the chemicals.
英國《獨立報》報導稱，抗議者們與噴射女孩的警察發生衝突，並質問警察的警徽號碼，但據稱一名警察拒絕提供。
The footage also shows protesters confronting the officers allegedly involved in spraying the girl and asked for their badge numbers. One officer allegedly refused to give the protesters his badge number.
該視頻的拍攝者埃文·赫拉（Evan Hreha）在接受美國新聞網站Buzzfeed採訪時介紹了現場的具體情況。他表示：「在催淚噴霧事件之前，抗議是和平的。」據他回憶說，在警察衝向人群並用催淚噴霧噴射民眾之前，一名牧師正在主持一場祈禱會。
Mr Hreha said the protest was peaceful prior to the macing incident. He recalls a priest leading a prayer session before police rushed the crowd and began spraying people.
「接下來的事情你們知道，小女孩和其他人尖叫著跑了出來，他們被催淚噴霧襲擊了，我是從那時候開始記錄的，」赫拉先生說。「在街道左邊的每個人都說是坎貝爾警官(他使用了催淚噴霧)。」
"The next thing you know, the little girl and others were running out screaming. They had been maced and that's when I started filming," Mr Hreha said. "Everybody on the left side of the street we all saying that is was officer Campbell [who used the mace]."
美國新聞網站Buzzfeed報導稱，最初的注釋顯示孩子「9歲」。
...the original caption identified the child as "a 9-year-old."
赫拉先生說，他走到警察面前，要找「坎貝爾」。當時一名姓坎貝爾的警察在場，從抗議活動的錄像中可以看出他正在使用催淚噴霧，但這名警察沒有回應赫拉的提問。在視頻中，其他被抗議者詢問的警察給出了他們的警徽號碼。
Mr Hreha said he walked over to the police officers and asked for "Campbell." An officer with the last name Campbell was present, and footage from the protests shows he was carrying mace, but the officer did not respond to Mr Hreha's questioning.In the video, other officers questioned by protesters give their badge numbers when asked.
議員莎瑪·薩萬特（Kshama Sawant）在市議會周一的新聞發布會上說：「我們有成百上千普通民眾對西雅圖警察局令人無法接受的行為的控訴。西雅圖警察不加區別地對和平抗議者，過度濫用催淚瓦斯、催淚噴霧、閃光彈和其他類型武力。」
"Seattle police officers indiscriminately used tear gas, mace, flash bang grenades and other types of excessive use of force on the peaceful protesters."
不過網友除了對施暴的警方的聲討，也有人認為這麼小的孩子不應該參加充滿危險的示威活動，她的父母非常不稱職。
