POLICE have launched a review after a protester captured in a dramatic viral picture told The Sun how cops fired weapons around him and his two-year-old son - and one officer allegedly threatened to spray tear gas at the little boy.

Dontae Parks, 29, attended a peaceful protest against the death of George Floyd in Long Beach, California, with his toddler son, where he was captured in a shocking image facing off with a police officer brandishing a rubber bullet gun seemingly inches from their faces.

In an exclusive interview on Wednesday, Dontae told how one officer threatened to spray tear gas while others fired bullets right in front of them.

And in video footage shared with The Sun cops can be seen loading weapons and firing bullets all around them - while in another, fellow protesters can be heard begging cops not to gas the child, shouting: "What's the matter with you? You are a monster! You are really going to gas this child? What about your child?"
