https://www.facebook.com/chase.stone.73/videos/1346393148720379/ During the big ride today we had a law enforcement officer, that looked as if he was pulling over a truck, stepped out of his vehicle with mace in hand and began spraying it towards the riders with intention of causing an accident!!! This is a video EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH!! Law enforcement is here to protect and serve, not intentionally try to harm others... Please, share this video with others to raise awareness about these particular behavior's being displayed by many of our local law enforcement employees. ***THIS WAS BEYOND DANGEROUS***Posted by Chase Stone on Monday, March 14, 2016
Police say they received the video Monday morning and it has been passed along to internal affairs for an investigation.
A spokeswoman says they have tried contacting the person who posted the video, but have not spoken to him or her yet.
FWPD does not yet know who the officer was in the video.
The spokeswoman confirms Fort Worth officers do carry “OC Spray,” similar to mace.
