A Fort Worth, Texas, police officer pushed a mother and two teenaged daughters to the ground and arrested them after the mother called police Wednesday to report her 7-year-old son had been assaulted.
Jacqueline Craig, 49, said the neighbor grabbed her son by the neck because he tossed a piece of paper and refused to pick it up, according to the video.
Other family members are heard shouting at the officer, who escalates tensions with a threat to throw Craig in jail. As one of Craig’s daughters approaches her mother, the officer puts his hands on her shoulders. The women began screaming profanities and calling the officer “pig” amid some pushing and shoving.
The officer pushed Craig to the street and handcuffed her, then subdued her two daughters, 19-year-old Brea Hymond and a 15-year-old whose name wasn’t released because of her age.
