Warning: The Facebook video contains obscenity throughout.

A Fort Worth police officer was placed on restricted duty Thursday after he was captured on a viral video wrestling a woman to the ground and pointing a stun gun at her teenage daughters before arresting them.

Jacqueline Craig had called police Wednesday to report that a neighbor had choked her son to get him to pick up trash. She and the responding officer, whose name has not been released, got into a verbal altercation. By the end of the encounter, the officer had handcuffed Craig and her two daughters, ages 15 and 19.

The Fort Worth Police Department said it was investigating the way the women were treated.

The nearly six-minute video that Porsha Craver posted on Facebook on Wednesday shows Craig and the officer arguing after he tells her to teach her son not to litter. The incident escalates as the officer pulls out a stun gun and puts Craig on the ground to arrest her.

The video has more than 1.7 million views.

On Thursday afternoon, police were seen entering the neighbor's house through the back. Lee Merritt, Craig's attorney, said the police response was prompted after a 911 call, but he had no other details.

Craig broke down in tears during a news conference a day after her arrest. She said she thought she was helping her son when she called police.

"It made me feel less of a parent that I couldn't protect him when he needed it," she said.

Fort Worth police investigators worked throughout the night interviewing witnesses and reviewing video, including footage from the officer's body camera, the police department said in a prepared statement.

Officials asked for patience and said state law limits the information they can release, including the body cam footage, because of the internal investigation.

"We acknowledge that the initial appearance of the video may raise serious questions," the statement reads. "We ask that our investigators are given the time and opportunity to thoroughly examine this incident and to submit their findings. This process may take time."

Merritt accused the officer of racism. Craig and her children are black; the officer and the neighbor are white.

If the child had been white and the man accused of hurting him had been black, "there's no way on God's green earth" that he would walk free, Merritt said.

Now the boy can't trust that police will protect him, the attorney said.

"That's an attack on this family," he said, "but it's also an attack on the African-American community."

Craig was arrested on outstanding traffic warrants and is accused of resisting arrest, records show. Her 19-year-old daughter, Brea Hymond, faces charges of interfering with public duties and resisting arrest.

The family had been released by Thursday afternoon.

Merritt said police didn't take Craig's original report about her son being choked but pointed out that the mother and the older teen were interviewed as part of the internal affairs investigation.

The incident took place on Rock Garden Trail, near Hazel Harvey Peace Elementary. Craver, Craig's niece, recorded Hymond's video of the police encounter that had streamed live on Facebook, according to family attorneys. Craver posted her recording to Facebook, where it has been shared thousands of times.

The footage begins with the officer as he talks to the man accused of assaulting Craig's son. Craig tells the officer that her 7-year-old son said the man "grabbed him and choked him" for littering and for "defying him" when he told him to pick up the paper.

Craig says no one has the right to touch her son.

The officer responds, "Why don't you teach your son not to litter?"

Craig raises her voice as she tells the officer that the man can't prove her son littered, but she says it doesn't matter whether her son littered.

"It doesn't give him the right to put his hands on him," she says.

The officer asks, "Why not?"

Someone off screen reminds the officer that he's being recorded.

"You don't know what I teach him," Craig says. "Whatever you teach your kids don't mean they go by your rules when they're not in your sight."

Craig yells at the officer that he is upsetting her.

"If you keep yelling at me, you're going to piss me off," the officer says.

Craig's 15-year-old daughter gets between the officer and her mother. Merritt said the teen did that to de-escalate the situation.

The officer takes hold of the teen's shoulder from behind as someone yells, "Don't grab her! Don't grab her!"

Just before the two-minute mark, the officer pulls his stun gun and presses it into Craig's back as he takes her to the ground. More people yell as he points his stun gun at the teen and arrests Craig.

People can be heard cursing at the officer and telling him they're recording the incident as he arrests the 15-year-old.

The officer appears to look at the person behind the camera as he says, "OK, you're going to jail too."

The video appears to jump at times. Merritt said that's because Hymond was getting calls on her phone that disrupted the recording. He said the teen's original recording is much longer and showed what happened before police arrived on the scene.

Reaction to the video was swift and harsh. Two protests merged into one in downtown Fort Worth. One of them was organized by the Next Generation Action Network, which advocates against police brutality.

Terri Burke, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said in a prepared statement that the officer ignored basic community policing standards and his duty to de-escalate the situation.

"This incident and countless others like them demonstrate that for people of color, showing anything less than absolute deference to police officers — regardless of the circumstances — can have unjust and often tragic consequences," Burke wrote.

The officer in the video does not appear to use his stun gun. The Fort Worth Police Department changed its policy on stun guns several years ago after an officer killed a 24-year-old man.

The case involved Michael Patrick Jacobs Jr., who had a history of mental illness. Jacobs was off his medication and behaving aggressively, so his family called officers in April 2009. He died after being shocked for 54 seconds, becoming the fourth person to be killed in stun gun encounters with Fort Worth police since 2001.

The Tarrant County medical examiner's office ruled Jacobs' death a homicide, but the officers were cleared by a police investigation. A Tarrant County grand jury declined to indict them.

Jacobs' family sued, and the city offered to settle for a record $2 million. Jeff Halstead, who was police chief at the time, began requiring officers to fire stun guns in a simulator before using them on the street.
