Texas Police release bodycam footage

The Texas Police Department has released body cam footage of the controversial arrest of Forrest Curry.

Passers-by had filmed Curry, a 35-year-old black man, being held down beside the curb by officers.

The arrest has gained attention online with people calling the use of violence by the officers unnecessary and an example of police brutality.
