While eating, Wall got into an argument with several waitstaff members, which [ABC11](http://abc11.com/warsaw-police-investigate-after-viral-video-of-officer-putting-man-in-chokehold/3451147/) reports led at least one staff member to call the cops.

Upon arriving, an unidentified [Warsaw](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Warsaw-Police-Department/243903869129477?timeline_context_item_type=intro_card_work&timeline_context_item_source=1066791448) cop can be seen “removing” Wall, ultimately choking and slamming him to the ground.

The video was taken May 5 at a Waffle House and [posted](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009578835217) on May 8.

“He’s not supposed to be doing that,” a woman says in the video.

They handcuff him before charging him with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct for arguing with waitstaff inside the Waffle House.

“I was pretty much trying to scream for air and trying to breathe because he was holding my throat and that’s when I got aggressive with him because you are choking me,” Wall recalled.

Wall took full responsibility for his interaction with Waffle House employees.

But he told ABC11 the cop acted unjustly and took the liberty to call him out via his local news media.

“Your hands should have never been around my neck like that if my hands were in the air,” Wall said, addressing the cop who has not yet been identified.

Warsaw [Police Chief Eric Southerland](https://www.facebook.com/ericsoutherland23) confirmed the officer in the video works as an officer for the Warsaw Police Department.

“We are aware of the video and currently working on an investigation, following up based on the video posted, doing interviews, gathering video evidence,” Southerland said.

“I wish people would not blow things out of proportion and not let one situation create any additional situations,” he added.

​Southerland, who sports a “Blue Lives Matter” photo on his [Facebook page,](https://www.facebook.com/ericsoutherland23) says his department and the district attorney are investigating the incident.

“Once the investigation is complete and the district attorney has had a chance to review the case, we will provide the public with an update on the findings,” he said in a statement.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
