By all means, add as much context as you think an explanation would require. As a person committed to speaking out against police brutality, why do you think that law enforcement officers might believe that macing a nine year old is a solution to noncompliance, and why do you think that law enforcement officers might believe that they can get away with it, and how did we get to that point?
Because she was fat and had a bad mom? Is that the context that you think needs to be taken into account? Is that the context that explains an officers decision to mace a child, or their belief that it was appropriate, or their belief that they would get away with it even if it weren't?
I don't know what to say other than what I've already said (typed). I can't read their minds and don't know why they did it.
I brought up her weight because someone else posted that she was 60 lbs, which I accept was an honest mistake on his part. I gave an account of how the mother was acting because someone posted that we don't have sufficient information to judge the parents, which I also accept as an honest mistake because he hadn't watched the entire video, which is kind of hard to find on youtube, so I give him a pass for that. Why is it bad to correct incorrect information?
