Parents taken from their six-year-old’s hospital bedside by police call for dignity

Warning: some viewers may find some of this footage distressing.

The couple – whose ordeal was revealed in shocking footage from an officer’s bodycam – say they now want to see video from cameras worn by other officers who were there.

When we spoke to the couple earlier, we began by asking them to describe what happened in the run-up to the altercation with the police.
