Right, instead they were fighting and asking the police a bunch of questions then finally leaving as he marched towards him. Not saying cop was justified in taking him down by the throat, but not only is chokeslam a stretch, so is brutality. Some drunk yelling questions at a cop that just broke up a fight getting taken down is minuscule in comparison to things like the BART shooting in Oakland that happened recently. Not to downplay or excuse what's obviously a misuse of authority by a police officer by any means, but I can't deny that I'd be a little pissy too having someone shout questions at me after I broke up a fight involving his friend.
