And Johnson was “keenly aware” of the incident that led to McClain’s during his traffic stop, according to the lawsuit.
After an officer tells Johnson why he pulled him over, Johnson offers to fix the temporary plate placement, but the officer tells him not to and to provide his license and registration. The officer asks Johnson why he’s freaking out, the video shows. Johnson tells him he doesn’t have his license, and repeatedly tells the officer he doesn’t want the officer to hurt him.
The officer then asks Johnson to put his right hand on his head as his girlfriend is pleading with him and the officer to stop, the video shows. Johnson does not move and the officer starts to pull him out of the car. His girlfriend asks him not to “resist” and he tells the officer not to hurt his girlfriend.
Although Johnson’s girlfriend was ultimately able to unbuckle the seatbelt, because the officer was pulling Johnson’s right arm up in the air, the seatbelt got stuck on his shoulder, the lawsuit states. When Johnson tried to use his left hand to get out of the seatbelt to respond to an officer’s order, one of the officers yells at him to stop and hits him in the face, according to the lawsuit.
Johnson and his girlfriend continue to shout to each other throughout the encounter as police yell at them, and an officer uses a baton to get Johnson to move both his hands behind his back before they handcuff him, the video shows.
