Bodycam: Texas Drag Protest Turns Chaotic After Counter-Protesters Get Violent

A seemly peaceful protest outside a Texas drag event turned chaotic after counter-protesters clashed with protesters from the group “Protect Texas Kids.” Authorities said the violence began after a counter-protester allegedly assaulted a protester with what was believed to be pepper spray. When Fort Worth police tried arresting the suspect, other counter-protesters attempted to interfere with the arrest, leading to more chaos and two additional suspects being taken into custody. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks it down.

They come hiding their faces, and dressed for combat . Attack anyone who disagrees them and then claims their rights have been violated. Unacceptable.

[flfunno]

How are these masked people harassing and assaulting peaceful protestors not considered domestic terrorists?

[zambonibob]

Didnt know they made tactical gear in 5XL

[GhostWriter-wtpb]

Imagine being against protecting kids.

[SJM]

Their use of force was 100% justified. Great job officers!

[trinitylane]

These are the same people that screech, "Silence is Violence", yet feel justified in actually physically assaulting anyone who doesn't agree with them.

[chrischristiansen]

These people aren't interested in your rights or the law. They tend to want to be in every ones business, or
In your face about them, or in the middle of the road impeading traffic about their agenda instead of peacefully protesting on the side of the street. So they need to be pushed around and jailed when they break the law.

Think the bit where you decide to put body armour on is probably the point where you admit to yourself your protest probably wont be peaceful.

[sdparrett]

They aren’t used to being held accountable. Charges need to stick and sentences need to send a message that this won’t be tolerated.

[jessicalucero]

The way these people come to “protest” with tactical gear in tact. So ridiculous, they’re obviously attending with intentions to commit violence and damage property

[RB-vtku]

Poor babies feel so sorry for them.Their use of force was 100% justified

[tylerb]

It's amazing how you already know what these people look like without actually seeing their faces.

[abigailganey]

Remember you have the RIGHT to PEACEFULLY protest. You’re right to peacefully protest does not protect you once your protesting becomes violent. That goes for all parties. Do not put your hands on others, period.

[blightedgrounds]

These are the kind of people who gaslight their partners to start unnecessary arguments because peaceful relationships bore them.

[unkulwilly]

the guy yelling "help" as he gets arrested shows you how delusional these people are

[lyndathomson]

Why do the perpetrators of the crime always try to act innocent? Great job Officers you are amazing. God bless you and keep you safe

[williampowell]

Imagine living in a time where a sign that says, "drag shows aren't for kids" is controversial...

[rlcitelli]

THE POLICE DID THE JOB THEY ARE THERE TO DO. THUMBS UP TO THE POLICE .

[peanutcolada]

Those counter protesters faces look exactly as I thought they would…

[nasticanasta]

Imagine dressed in full military gear and then crying "Help" when arrested
