Fort Worth police video
The full, nearly 30-minute video was posted on YouTube, and does not give any new information about the arrests, and it contains graphic and explicit language, so viewer discretion is advised.
As previously reported, 46-year-old Jacqueline Craig called the Fort Worth police after her son came to her saying he was put in a choke hold by a neighbor. A police officer appears in the video and begins questioning the neighbor first.
After the police officer exchanges words with the reported attacker, he walks over to Craig and asks condescendingly, “What’s going on with you?”
Craig tells him that the neighbor choked her son for allegedly throwing a piece of paper on the ground and not picking it up when the neighbor asked him to. In response to Craig’s distress, the police officer asks in an accusing tone, “Why don’t you teach your son not to litter?”
“He can’t prove to me that my son did or didn’t, but it doesn’t matter,” Craig says. “That doesn’t give him the right to put his hands on him.”
To which the officer responds, “Why not?”
Craig and her 19-year-old daughter were arrested by the officer, who has since been put on restricted duty pending an investigation. Her 15-year-old daughter was detained.
In the extended video, Craig is seen confronting the neighbor who reportedly choked her son. The video then shows Craig calling 911 for police assistance, telling the dispatcher that the neighbor had grabbed her son by the neck. At one point, another man comes up and tells the neighbor to keep his hands off Craig’s son.
The first video, which was about six minutes long, was posted on December 21st. The video instantly went viral showing only a portion of the confrontation with the officer.
The Fort Worth police video sparked outrage calling for the firing of the officer. The officer, who has not been identified, has been placed on restricted duty pending an internal review.
