friend said the officer threw open the door which slammed closed again after bouncing off Brown. It was then that the officer grabbed his friend by the neck. He told MSNBC today: 'The time frame was 60 seconds or less, it got out of hand really quickly.'
Mr. Johnson clearly states that the door was closed, the officer was still in the car when he grabs Mr. Brown. In this version he says the door only hits Mr. Brown. Mr. Johnson is probably telling the beginning, and the ending,
but Scoutmaster's post - the officer was out of the car, put Brown in a restraining hold and moved back towards the vehicle, is probably the middle part that Mr. Johnson is not going to admit until hell freezes over.
The door slamming closed after hitting the kid doesn’t mean that the officer didn’t reopen the door again and “it was then that he grabbed his friend by the neck”.
The door being pushed or bouncing back at him is what the officer is calling being forced back into his car — a bit of an exaggeration.
Why is he putting his hands on Brown in the first place???? What crime did he commit???
And even if he did you tell the kid to turn around "you're under arrest" and put the handcuffs on him.
Why is he putting him in a headlock and pulling him back to the vehicle while pulling his gun???
And then calling that "an assault"???
Is that what you expect when stopped by the police???
