Video Shows Texas Police Officer Pepper-Spraying Motorcyclists
Most cops are good. This one appears to be a bad apple as he pepper-sprays motorcyclists passing by on the highway.
In the viral video above, you'll see a Fort Worth police officer getting out of his squad car, during a traffic stop, and immediately pulls out what appears to be pepper spray. As a group of motorcyclists pass by, said cop sprays the group with the pepper spray.
The video is shot from the point-of-view of one of the bikers in the group. At first, you'll see the video in real-time. Then, you'll see a slow-motion perspective that clearly shows the officer exiting his car with the spray in hand. He then points it at the motorcyclists then you see a cloud of spray.
Below is the response from the Fort Worth Police Department. I applaud them for proactively addressing this matter.
