The Fort Worth Police Department released surveillance and body camera videos of Antifa members attacking people who were protesting a drag event and then resisting arrest from officers after they attempted to bring them in custody for the initial assault.
The first video taken from a surveillance camera shows the Antifa members walking over to the side of the street where the anti-drag protesters were. The Antifa group started to surround them and one of them used pepper spray on the protesters. Fort Worth Police say many in the Antifa crowd were armed with either handguns or long guns.
When responding officers tried to get suspect Samuel Fowlkes to surrender, Fowlkes can be seen on body camera walking, then running away from the officers. This forced the officers to grab Fowlkes to arrest him. Other Antifa members can be seen fighting the police. Christopher Guillott swung an umbrella and hit an officer in the face before being arrested.
Fowlkes continued to resist arrest after being pinned to the ground and called out for help. An officer can be heard telling Fowlkes to not reach for a gun or else he is going to be shot. After Fowlkes was secured, Meghan Grant charged the officers, claiming one of the arrestees needed medical attention, being pushed back multiple times before being taken into custody.
Fowlkes was charged with assault causes bodily injury, evading arrest, resisting arrest, assault on a peace officer. Guillott was charged with interference with public duties and assault on a peace officer. Grant was charged with interference with public duties and resisting arrest.

Manufactured psychological epidemic.
I love a happy ending. The feel-good story of the day.
I saw this a couple days ago, this is worth watching. And Bracken highly recommends watching it closely to see how Antifa pukes operate.
shotgun, sweep the streets
A nice club of PYDFWs.
(People You Don’t **** With)
That was a far more controlled and reasonable take down than the perp deserved. And the idiot was reaching for the officers weapon. Doubling down on stupid.
A fun time had by all.
Good. Too bad other cities do nothing about these scumbags.
The Brownshirts, reborn.
I’m amazed at how things have remained largely violence free over the last few years.
They’ve obviously been thorough some sort of training, and are acting according to a plan. They are well prepared, and know what they’re doing.
Those Antifa guys are so lucky!
Antifa and DNC privilege was way out that day.
I reached for a gun during arrest and I am DEAD as a conservative.
Two systems of justice. Two systems for even arrest. Don’t try reaching for a gun during an arrest, your unlikely to survive.
More of this needs to happen.....A LOT more.
Good on the PD for unmasking these cowards and making them famous.
Nice, equipment the brownshirts have — is it from Quantico?
This is how you deal with protestors who will not obey the police.
Well done Texas.
