OVIEDO, Fla. – A former police chief is reacting to body-camera video released Thursday that shows a 9-year-old who was handcuffed by Oviedo officers earlier this year. Video of the encounter shows one of the officers handcuffed the student out of concern for the safety of others in the room. Former Orlando police Chief Orlando Rolón said it's disturbing to see a child in handcuffs and that law enforcement typically has a defined scope of when certain behaviors merit an escalation in restraint.
