Witnesses say that the cop initiated the physical contact by reaching out the window with his left arm and grabbing the kid by the neck.

The kid then tried to get the cop’s hands off of him and back away — hence the tussle at the window.

This man, the 18 year-old was over 6 feet. Unless the man was leaning into the window of the cop car, how does a cop grab a guy by the neck while he’s still in the car? I would think that a cop would be dumber than dumb to instigate or escalate a confrontation while sitting in a seat, relatively trapped in a car. It’s kind of squishy in the front seat. This doesn’t make sense. Nor does opening a door of his car to purposely whack someone with the door. The cop grabbing the neck while in the car only makes sense to me if the 18 year-old was reaching in to punch or get in the face of the cop.

If the cop did that he’s wrong.
