In Johnson’s mugshot, he is seen smiling as two men hold him by the neck. Johnson claims that the officers were upset that he was smiling in the photo, so they strangled. Luckily he survived the attack.
Johnson’s legal representatives say the event caused him to suffer significant pain and mental anguish. They say the incident violated Johnson’s civil rights, and they are seeking compensation and punitive damages. A police report accused Johnson of being uncooperative, something he denies.
