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