The video released on Friday by the Montgomery County Police Department shows one of the officers repeatedly screaming at the crying child, with her face inches from his. Lawyers for the child's mother, Shanta Grant, said the video shows the officers treating her son "as if he were a hardened criminal." But the school system issued a statement describing the video as "extremely difficult" to watch. "There is no excuse for adults to ever speak to or threaten a child in this way," the school system said. The video shows an officer forcing the crying child onto a chair in the principal's office.
