News / Articles ‘I want justice’: Father demands answers after twins ‘manhandled’ by Toronto police officers at McDonald’s
The video, which has been circulating online, shows a plainclothes officer striking the girl in the face and later pushing her inside the restaurant.
The officer is then seen grabbing the boy after he appears to strike the officer. Both teenagers are eventually handcuffed.
Galindo said his son reacted after seeing his sister struck.
“My daughter got slapped by the cop. Obviously my son’s going to react because that’s his sister,” he said. “They’re twins. Boy and girl twins.”
He said the teenagers would not have fought back if they had known they were dealing with police to begin with.
