A member of congress must request a DOJ investigation and Congressman Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, has been outspoken about the case.

"I was very disturbed by what I saw on the video," Veasey said, according to Star-Telegram. "Just from I saw on the video, it appeared to me that the police officer there escalated the situation and was kind of being rude and condescending to the taxpayer and citizen that called police to the scene."
