NextImg:Rep. Ronny Jackson Responds After Bodycam Video Shows Cops Put Him Face Down in Handcuffs at Rodeo

A Texas member is Congress is speaking out after the release of police body camera footage that shows him being detained and handcuffed.

Rep. Ronny Jackson, a Texas congressman, was placed face down in the altercation, which took place last month at the White Deer Rodeo near Amarillo.

Jackson, a former White House physician during the Obama and Trump administrations, sought to administer care to a young woman who had experienced a medical emergency during the event, according to the Texas Tribune.

Jackson can be heard interacting with law enforcement in the footage — and uses profane language while criticizing their actions.

WARNING: The following videos contains vulgar language that some viewers may find offensive.

“You are a f****** full-on d***!” Jackson asserts to one state trooper.

“You better recalculate, m***********.”

EMS providers administered aid to the injured woman after Jackson was removed from the immediate scene by troopers of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
