[font color=330099]And yes, Sprayberry is an out-loud Donald Trump supporter who, according to her Facebook page, takes pride in being in his “basket of deplorables.” The comment from Sprayberry came after Craig confronted Fort Worth Police about a white man allegedly choking her 7-year old black son.[/font]
Lana Sprayberry, principal of Inspired Vision Academy Elementary School in Dallas, is under fire after her post about Jacqueline Craig—who, along with her two daughters, was assaulted by a Fort Worth, Texas, police officer Wednesday—went viral.
“Stop trying to act innocent,” Sprayberry wrote on Facebook. “If you had kept your fat mouth shut the cop would not have had a reason to cuff! I wouldn’t blame every cop to walk off their job in protest!!! Lord help us!!!”
It is unclear under which post Sprayberry made the comment, or if she was speaking about Craig, 46, her daughter Brea Hymond, 19, or Craig’s 15-year-old daughter. Lee Merritt, attorney for the Craig family, posted the screenshot and asked followers to verify:
Within two hours, A+Charter Schools, Inc., the corporate charter system in which Inspired Elementary operates, issued the following statement on Facebook:

As previously reported by The Root, Craig called Fort Worth police after a white male neighbor choked her 7-year-old son after accusing him of littering.
