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.

Anthony, of course was unarmed & non-violent.

This is assault. pic.twitter.com/lLupZbfMcW
