That is Anthony Wall, in prom clothes, being lifted off the ground and choked by a Warsaw County police officer @WaffleHouse. He had just taken his little sister to prom. And yet again @WaffleHouse called the cops.

Quote:(CNN)Anthony Wall's night started at the prom with his sister, followed by a stop at a Waffle House in Warsaw, North Carolina. While at the restaurant, he got into a heated argument with employees, who called police.
It's unclear what happened moments before the confrontation Saturday, but cell phone video widely shared on Facebook showed an officer putting his hand around Wall's neck and shoving him up against a glass wall as he tries to arrest him.
Wall screams, "Get your hands off me!" as the officer throws him to the ground and handcuffs him.
I can't see the video, but it kinda sounds like this guy was either being an asshole to begin with or was worked up because of the Waffle House staff. I wouldn't be surprised if he was not being compliant with the officers when they showed up either. Doesn't excuse the officer if he did use excessive force, though.
