Anthony was being discriminated against. Warsaw Police Officer Frank Moss was seen outside of the Waffle House putting his hand on Anthony’s throat to try to subdue him during the altercation.

Some prosecution witnesses said they hear Antony saying racial slurs, “get your white hand off me.” they also showed many videos of that night, including Snapchats from customers, camera video of the physical altercation between the officer and Anthony.

The officer describes the choke hold as a technique he learned in police school. He said he was trying to find a “pressure point” like an area to get Anthony to calm down.
