SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The San Francisco Police Department released bodycam footage on Wednesday of a September arrest in which a hot dog vendor was physically restrained. Video of the arrest went viral on social media after it happened. The video showed officers handcuffing a woman while her young daughter cried. The arrest happened on the Embarcadero on Sept. 8. SFPD originally pushed back against the narrative surrounding the arrest, calling it an "orchestrated effort" to fit a false narrative. Police said a city worker was assaulted before police handcuffed her, and someone told the girl to cry to make the video look more dramatic. San Francisco RVs to get towed for parking on certain streets, SFMTA rules "The combination of the crying child, with her mother on the ground being handcuffed, created a dramatic moment that was carefully edited. The reality was much different," SFPD said on Sept. 10. On Thursday, police released a 10-minute video from the arresting officer's perspective. The video begins with the vendor in a struggle for her hot dog cart with a man wearing a yellow vest. As they wrestled, several items on the cart were knocked over. The child can be heard crying hysterically as the officer tells the woman to let go of the cart. The city worker and officer eventually pried her hands off the cart, and the officer led her a short distance away, the video shows. "I don't want to put her in handcuffs, but I will," the officer can be heard saying. The woman then made her way back to the cart and was again grabbed by an officer and a city worker. She was pushed down and handcuffed. The video does not clearly show the woman strike a port worker, as SFPD claimed. At the end of the video, officers are seen talking to witnesses. One witness claimed that someone told the little girl to make a scene in hopes it would make the officers leave. The woman was medically cleared and released at the scene, SFPD said.
