Fort Worth, TX A video posted to Facebook Wednesday evening has quickly gone viral showing a Fort Worth cop involved in a violent arrest of a mother and her two teen daughters.
The incident began when Jacqueline Craig called police alleging that her neighbor assaulted her 7-year-old son. Craig told police that the neighbor claimed he saw the 7-year-old throw a piece of trash on the ground and when her son refused to pick it up, the adult male began choking him.
Yes, it is wrong to litter. However, choking someone elses child over littering is most certainly not a just response. However, the cop could not have cared less about the assault as the first question out of his mouth is, Why dont you teach your son not to litter?
It doesnt matter if he did or didnt. It doesnt give him the right to put his hands on him, explained Craig.
Why not? callously replies the cop.
At this point, after the officer implies that an adult assaulting a child is perfectly fine if litter is involved, the argument begins to escalate.
The officer then says, if you keep yelling at me youre going to piss me off and Im going to take you to jail.
As her daughter attempts to calm down the situation, all hell breaks loose, and the officer makes good on his threat.
The video then cuts to Craig laying on the ground with the officer kneeling on her back. He has his taser out and points it at a small child and then at Craigs daughter.
The officer then handcuffs Craig and her 19-year-old. The cop then turns his attention to the person filming. He knocks the camera out of her hand and tells her, youre going to jail too!
Craig was arrested on charges of resisting arrest and failure to identify, according to court records. Brea Hymond, Craigs 19-year-old daughter, was charged with resisting arrest and interfering with public duties.
There are no records of the man who assaulted Craigs 7-year-old son being arrested.
On Thursday afternoon, Craig and her daughter were finally released.
In a statement, Fort Worth police acknowledged the incident and noted that the officer involved has been placed on restricted duty pending the outcome of the investigation.
The investigators worked throughout the night and into the morning interviewing witnesses and reviewing video evidence; including video from a body worn camera that was active during the incident, FWPD wrote.
Since this is an internal investigation, state law limits the information that may be released, including the officers body cam footage, FWPD says.
The department adds that it enjoys a close and cooperative relationship with citizens built on transparency, mutual trust and respect, and that it expects officers to treat citizens the same.
We ask that our investigators are given the time and opportunity to thoroughly examine this incident and to submit their findings. This process may take time, but the integrity of the investigation rests upon the ability of the investigators to document facts and to accurately evaluate the size and scope of what transpired. We ask our community for patience and calm during this investigation process.
Instead of helping a woman who called police for assistance in stopping a man who had attacked her small child, Fort Worth Police assaulted her. This family needed help and got brutality instead.
This is the reason there is a growing mistrust of police in America.

Is there any real evidence of the choking?
It doesnt matter if he did or didnt. It doesnt give him the right to put his hands on him, explained Craig.
Says you! I say drop kick his ass back to his parents yard. If you are not harming someone else's property then cops are not going to be called out there to deal with unruly asshats! Glad im not a cop.
As her daughter attempts to calm down the situation, all hell breaks loose, and the officer makes good on his threat.
Good for him! If you can not behave and act like a human than being treated like an animal is fine by me and the sane people of this world!
There are no records of the man who assaulted Craigs 7-year-old son being arrested.
You forgot the most important word missing which can get this publication sued. the word is "allegedly"!
These articles are meant to flame hate! I despise people who post/produce these articles for hate mongering!
This is the reason there is a growing mistrust of police in America.
Yep hate mongers!!!!!! Just keep fanning the flames.

For dropping a piece of paper on the ground?
Man - you are starting to sound like the rest of the bootlickers here.
You've got FireIsland's cop-jive down pat.

For being an asshat and not respecting others property! I thought you were a big property rights person?
Man - you are starting to sound like the rest of the bootlickers here.
Maybe im sick of whiny asshats that just can not live in peace with others! They either call the police to harass others or just can not respect other people and their properties.
Like I said police do not just show up(unless they just happen to be there) and start bothering people they are called out by someone! 99.99% of the time its not the polices fault.

More like the gangster family attack the officer and put him in the hospital because police are afraid to do their jobs!
Your police hate is out of control again. I still think you are trying to cause violence against police for some nefarious reason.

Looked like the cop spoke with the neighbor guy first. Probably heard everything he needed to hear.
Then he turned to the kid's mother and she went on a rampage ... to the point her daughter felt it necessary to intervene. Oops. Too late.
Whoo-ee. Then the monkeys howled.

You have anything to back that up or are you, like FireIsland just making shit up?

You give me way too much credit - cops have brought this backlash upon themselves.

The fact that her daughter had to step in to stop of mother from attacking the police.
Sane people do not attack the police. I know this fact is hard to believe!

No you morons spouting lies and half truths work up the truly insane into a frenzy who then attack the police. Yes you and many like you are to blame not the police. Yes I must say it some police should be prosecuted but we are talking less than 1% of 1%! These guys get all the publicity while the others pay the price!

The melanin overdosed, will go nose to nose with each other, and will sometimes never throw a punch. They will also do the screaming that we hear often if we watch Jerry Springer, or Maury Povic. Whites are now becoming more like that I know, but this is at the heart of Black vs White conflicts in our society today.
I think the melanin overdosed should move to Haiti, Africa or Europe where they think things are hunky dory and leave the European/Americans including the Spanish, who are Europeans/Americans to deal with each other.
Failing that logical but somehow outlandish proposition, I say only blacks should deal with black people. If a white officer shows up first, he should wait behind his car door with weapon drawn until a black man can show up and straighten things out. He can then leave the "howling monkeys" to fling shit at each other and throw these tantrums.

The BLM type SJW maggots who keep posting this type of crap will maintain that the cracker should have checked his white privileged and that each second they failed to celebrate the transformation of their neighborhood into Zimbabwe was another nonaggression.

Their story and their video is out there for everyone to see. The truth will come out over the next few weeks and no one will notice.
They still think the "Gentle Giant" had his hands up and was saying, "Don't shoot" and that Trayvon was hunted down and murdered.
The BLM type SJW maggots don't want a "dialogue". They're the ones fostering division and hatred.

My response was to go there and live. Obviously the BLM people, and the 90% of Americans who identify as Africans, hate America. They would be much more comfortable being a majority in their own country, where they can live under a totalitarian socialist leader like Obama or Hillary. The only thing they truly love about the US of A is that the majority whites, Asians and of course the Spanish-Americans, go to work and pay taxes so they can have many children with multiple fathers. It is what is drawing the Muslims here too, make lots of babies, draw a check for nothing, grow them up to destroy the country.
I don't think I am a racist at all, just a realist. I replied to this post after such a "discussion" and maybe went a little overboard. The facts still are true though, different races need to live among their own kind. People can "mix" all they want, but what it comes down to is assimilation. The Blacks in America do not want that, even though every white person I have known in my life, save 2 or 3, open their hearts, homes and arms to them. The same is true of Asians of all nations, and they reciprocate. The black people are unique in that they will not let down their guards, and join America.
This Paladino man gets it. He speaks as they do to us, about us, and pulls no punches. He is a hero JUST for doing that.
