Full video of Fort Worth officer arresting black family includes 23 minutes of new footage before, after arrest

The full video of a white Fort Worth police officer wrestling a black woman to the ground before detaining her and her two daughters has been posted on YouTube.

The video shows about 11 minutes of the scene from Wednesday before the officer, whose name has yet to be released, arrived and arrested Jacqueline Craig, 46, who had called police to report that her neighbor choked her 7-year-old son to get him to pick up trash.

Warning: The entire video contains an abundance of profanities and obscenities.

The extended clip also shows about 12 minutes of the aftermath of the encounter, in which Craig's 19- and 15-year-old daughters were also arrested.

The extra footage was not included in the original six-minute video that went viral almost immediately after it was posted on Facebook by Porsha Carver. The video currently has 3.2 million views.

that this type of incident happens to white people as well.
With the exception of that it does not.
Even though white people will record themselves in the most ridiculous of situations, that anyone would be most ashamed, you will never find a comparable situation.
This makes me so angry to see what I have come to believe, that we are living in a police state. So much so that other countries view this with absolute wonder and amazement of the hypocrisy of the facade of human rights and basic dignity that we push onto others, that will never exist in this country.
