DISTURBING VIDEO: Leftists Thugs Battle Police in Ft. Worth

FORT WORTH – The Fort Worth Police Department took down three Antifa agents who assaulted peaceful protestors of a 'family-friendly drag show' on Sunday afternoon.

According to the Fort Worth Police Department, on April 23, 2023, a small group from "Protect Texas Kids" arrived at Fort Brewery and Pizza to stage a protest across the street from the location during a scheduled "drag show" event.

A group of counter-protesters also arrived at the location and stood in front of the business. The counter-protesters were dressed in black, wearing helmets and outer tactical vests, and many of them were armed with handguns and long guns.

Members of the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) monitored both groups via a city camera. At approximately 12:50 p.m., officers observed a member of the counter-protest group, later identified as 20-year-old Samuel Fowlkes, approach the "Protect Texas Kids" protesters and spray them with pepper spray.

When FWPD Officers attempted to arrest Fowlkes for this assault, Fowlkes began to evade officers and then swung his closed fists at officers who tried to stop him. While the officers were attempting to place Fowlkes into handcuffs, another member from the counter-protest group, later identified as 33-year-old Christopher Guillott, interfered with officers' efforts by swinging an umbrella at officers. Guillott struck an officer in the face and was then placed under arrest.

As Fowlkes and Guillott continued to resist arrest, members of the FWPD Directed Response Unit were called to the scene to help the officers. In order to create a safe arrest environment for Fowlkes, Guillott, and the arresting officers, officers directed the group of counter-protesters to the sidewalk. It was during this time that a third counter-protester, later identified as 37-year-old Meghan Grant, attempted to charge past FWPD officers multiple times to gain access to the Fowlkes and Guillott. A FWPD officer attempted to stop Grant by pushing her back toward the sidewalk; however, Grant did not comply and was taken into custody. 

The Fort Worth Police Department respects everyone's constitutional rights to free speech and assembly. Our main goal during any protest event is to provide a safe environment that respects all participants' constitutional rights, while effectively maintaining public peace and order. However, those who choose to violate the law and assault others will be arrested and charged.
