FAIRFIELD — Video footage continues to make waves online after police broke a 12-yr-old girl’s jaw and ribs.

The incident began when the girl and her family were at a swimming center.

For some reason, staff at the swimming center singled out the family over a “problem” with their bathing suits.

The mother of the family became frustrated after the center would not issue a refund, according to reports, but finally decided to leave.

Because of the dispute, however, police asked for the mother’s ID before she left.

Seeing no reason why she needed to provide her identification, she declined the request.

That is when things really escalated. The cop took it upon himself to start laying his hands on the mother.

The video shows police resorting to violence against her and her family.

When her children saw what was happening to their mom, they did what any child would do and they tried to pull the attacker off.

But that is when police used violent force against the children too.

In the video the police can be seen pulling a young girl by her neck and shoving her up against a car.

They can be seen using pepper spray on the other children for “not letting go of a fence.”

Strangely, another customer who did not appear to be an officer began also attacking one of the children, ramming his elbow into the back of the child’s neck.

For some reason police did not appear especially eager to stop this other customer from joining in the attack.

The mother believes that racism was involved.

Her child was hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken jaw.

All four family members including the children, ages 12 and 15, were arrested.

Two of the adults were charged with “resisting arrest” and “disorderly conduct.”

In all, four people were arrested, including two adults. The children taken by the police were only 12 and 15-years-old.

The family is planning to sue while the footage continues to go viral.
