Mom Says Neighbor Choked Son, Fort Worth Police Show Up, Mom Gets Arrested

found this on Dallas Observer http://www.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/archives/2016/12/22/mom-says-neighbor-choked-son-fort-worth-police-show-up-mom-gets-arrested

I just found this this morning and am appalled. Hope there are others living in DFW are that will join in making calls to Ft. Worth police dept. Their atty is holding press conference at 2pm.
Working on find more details and numbers to call.

Her son is 7 years old and this was over a piece of trash neighbor told not to pick up........
WTF!

I did speak to their atty and he said make calls to Ft Worth PD. All I am getting are voice mails.

I just read about this story. The white man assaulted a 7 year old because he threw paper on the ground and the boy told his mom who then called the police on the man that assaulted her son. As the woman explains what happened, the cop asked her why don't you teach your child not to litter and when she told the cop, the man had no right to touch her child, the officer asks why not. After the mother is upset and yelling, it gets out of hand and then he handcuffs the mother and the daughter and does nothing to the man that assaulted her son.

Wth???

The proof is in the video, no denying that. The camera person will be the person to take the most heat over this. I understand the emotion, but she didn't do herself or friend any favors with that tirade. I hope justice is done.
