They say a group of about 200 motorcyclists were traveling up northbound U.S. 287 in Fort Worth Sunday afternoon when a Fort Worth police officer pulled over one of the motorcycle group's "safety vehicles," which is a vehicle that follows behind bikers in case of an incident. Tracey Knight confirmed late Monday that the officer used pepper spray on the passing bikers and documented it in a report. News 8 spoke Monday to Jack Kinney, the man who recorded the video with his helmet camera, and Chase Stone, who edited the video and posted it to Facebook. Please, share this video with others to raise awareness about these particular behavior's being displayed by many of our local law enforcement employees. Fort Worth police said they received several 911 calls from drivers reporting hundreds of motorcyclists weaving in and out of traffic along Highway 287. Police also say three of the people in the truck the officer pulled over were cited; the driver, for not having a license, and two others, for riding in the bed of a pickup truck. The video can be seen here: 
 
 During the big ride today we had a law enforcement officer, that looked as if he was pulling over a truck, stepped out of his vehicle with mace in hand and began spraying it towards the riders with intention of causing an accident!!! "His intent was to hit the bikers for sure, there’s no doubt about it," Stone says. We weren't showing no force of hurting him, none of that. They say people could've died.

 Knight said in an email Monday morning, "The Fort Worth Police Department takes any complaint of officer misconduct very seriously and this incident will be investigated thoroughly."
– Police in Fort Worth, Texas, are investigating after a video surfaced showing an officer firing a burst of pepper spray at a group of motorcyclists on a highway. Members of the group say about 200 motorcyclists were traveling on Highway 287 around 3pm Sunday when an officer pulled over a pickup truck, one of the group's "safety vehicles," reports WFAA. As captured by one of the biker's helmet cams, the officer—identified as W. Figueroa, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram—exited his vehicle on the shoulder of the highway, then sprayed a yellow mist in the direction of the bikers as they passed him. A police rep confirms it was pepper spray and that Figueroa documented its use in a police report, reports NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. She didn't, however, reveal why he used it. Police say the department had received several complaints about the motorcyclists weaving in and out of traffic and generally driving recklessly around the time of the incident. But "if you're worried about safety, why would you pepper-spray a large group of bikers like that?" asks biker Jack Kinney. An ambulance called to the scene over exposure to pepper spray— apparently for those in the pulled-over pickup—transported one person to the hospital who asked to be checked out, notes the Star-Telegram. Another four refused treatment. Figueroa, a six-year veteran with the force, has been placed on administrative duty during the investigation.
