He has said he was being choked and he was trying to get away from being choked. There are many interviews with him. Johnson was clear they both were facing the cop when the altercation began and he has said 'throat' on many occasions. And, if it was not a one handed grab to the neck, how did the officer grab this tall guy from the seat of his SUV and get him in this arm around the back of his neck? The leverage just does not work for a guy this big, Wilson does not look like a big dude, he looks to be about 5'11 to 6' He was sitting and somehow he is able to put him in some choke hold. It makes not sense.
I agree Brown could have pulled away, I also believe a 300 pound man at 6'4" could have stopped someone from just grabbing someone's shirt with one hand. And Johnson has been very vocal about it only being one hand the cop was using the entire time too.
If Brown was in such distress why did he ask Johnson's to hold his smokes?? That sounds so off.
I have never heard Dorian say he was being "choked". You should be able to link to the video he said that in. Even if he did said it you should be able to think and know he didnt literally mean he was choking. He could have said choke hold or head lock but I dont ever recall the term choked being used.
What makes you think that from a SUV Wilson would not be able to attempt to put his arm around Browns neck and pull him in the car? All it requires is a headlock which is exactly what most likely happened. He attempted to get Brown in a headlock and Brown was simply to strong for him to hold him there. I never said Brown was in distress. He was probably PO that the smaller Wilson was trying to hold him in a headlock. The only distress came after the first shot was fired. Thats when he broke free and ran.
Here. He gestures towards the front of his neck and he says the cop was reaching one arm out then and trying to choke him.
How tall are you Asc? It's rhetorical. The leverage needed to do what you are imagining, just is not there IMO.
Dorian specifically said he grabbed him around the neck and was trying to choke him. He also says he let go and grabbed him by the arm too if I am not mistaken.
I'm 6'2". I have a SUV and my head is a little higher the roof. The more I hear the more this is making sense. I have witnessed for my self officers doing the exact same thing to people.
Humm,a tall man... my heart beats a little quicker as my thoughts spin out of control.
Your head is a little higher than the roof, Brown was 2 inches taller than you, I cant see the leverage to get him in any type of choke hold or grabbing of the neck where Brown could not have easily moved out of the cops grip. Now add him asking Johnson to hold the stolen cigarillos all the while in a fight with a cop.
