ARLINGTON - Arlington police are looking into whether or not an officer used excessive force Wednesday night to break up a series of fights.

In a video posted online, an officer is seen slamming a girl to the ground. The 15 year-old girl, who has not been identified, was arrested for allegedly fighting.

Arlington police have started an investigation and are hoping people with other videos of the incident will come forward.

"At the end of the day, we just don't have all of the facts yet," said Sgt. Christopher Cook.

The incident happened after fights broke out at a dance hall in the 1000 block of Collins Street.

Authorities have put out a call for any other videos of the incident and asked patience from anyone alarmed by these images.

"Let the investigation run its process," Cook said. "I assure you that the Arlington Police Department investigates use of force very, very seriously."

The officer involved is working his regular duty during the investigation, and police say the teenage girl in this video is cooperating with authorities.

In all, five people were arrested during the incident.

She must have had cropped ears.

[Captain Crawfish]

looked like a bunch of hoodlums but the bitch probably didnt need to be slammed like that. nothing will happen to the officer nothing to see here

looks to me like he had ahold of her and she tried to get away causing her feet to come out from under her... Move along

That didn't look like a hard slam, and all we got to see was the tail end of it... if she was being Ghetto Gabby and kept trying to tear off after whoever she was fighting with, he might've gotten to a point in that crowd where he couldn't let her antics rile everyone up again and dropped her. It's not like that DPS officer who smashed that one chick's face into the wall on 75.

[Damnittsteve]

whats a 15yr old doing at a dance club at 4am on a thursday morning anyway?

oh yeah, practicing for her future.

[phaux]

Pssh, don't feel bad at all for her. Act stupid, get treated stupid.

Situations with the wrong door getting kicked in or dogs being shot, not cool.

People being subdued in a harsh manner after causing civil disorder and posing a danger to others, no problem with it.

[Tyrone Biggums]

Act like an animal, get treated like an animal.
