Fort Worth, TX – The Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) released bodycam footage that showed the arrest of a man who fought with police for nearly five minutes (video below.)
A brief cellphone recording of the altercation had caused outrage on social media.
The cellphone video, which was recorded by a man traveling by in his vehicle, captured just 45 seconds of Forrest Curry’s arrest on Saturday.
“The video being circulated depicts officers struggling with the male and striking him as they attempt to handcuff him,” Fort Worth Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald explained in a press release on Sunday. “What the video does not depict is that it took three officers and one supervisor to effectively place the resisting subject into handcuffs.”
