A North Texas firefighter and paramedic is under investigation after disturbing footage appearing to show him beating a dog was posted to social media. “We are following all appropriate procedures to address the situation,” Fire Chief Thomas Scott said in a statement.

Another video allegedly shows the same man yelling at a child, according to the Azle Professional Firefighters Association. 10 of the Biggest New Laws in Texas More than 800 new Texas laws are taking effect but these 10 stand out.
