Fort Pierce Police Officer punches and pepper sprays 15 year-old girl in Florida

Video of a Fort Pierce, Florida police officer subduing a 15 year-old girl with a punch to the face and pepper spray has led to calls for the officer's suspension. The incident occurred in July of this year as Shelwanda Riley was arrested for a curfew violation. No one 17 years or under can be out on city streets in Fort Pierce from midnight until 6 a.m. seven days a week, unless accompanied by an adult. The young woman is set to face charges of resisting arrest and battery on a police officer.

It's easy to second guess how the officer should have handled the situation but I don't think the girl will prevail in this case. I've never been a cop but it's discomforting to know that the he couldn't easily subdue a petite 15 year-old girl.
