Jesus, that's incredibly fucked up. That video is straight-up terrifying, imagine not being able to do anything at all because some asshole with a badge is pointing a gun at you. I'm just glad that stuff like Facebook Live is helping to spread all of this a bit more.The cop is straight up holding the gun like a gangster, what the fuck.
Facts. Dude told him to shut the car off and in that instant screams gun. Shows how irrational and chicken shit Police are when faced with a potentially heated situation. Just looking for an excuse.That kid probably saved his life by putting both those hands in the air, and NOT trying to shut off that car as directed... DAMN... that's so super fucked.

Shitty ass cop is shitty but can't shake the feeling this guy filming only made things worse. I dunno how I would've reacted but it wouldn't be like that.
Still, shitty cop.
Are we even watching the same video? The cop said turn off the car and he was talking shit non stop till they cuffed him.
Civilians should not be responsible for deescalating the police. Full stop.Shitty ass cop is shitty but can't shake the feeling this guy filming only made things worse for him. He did nothing to de escalate the situation (a situation that probably shouldn't have happened).
For real - that cop was absolutely ready and eager to shoot him. He laid the pretense out... that guy had some quick thinking... I don't think I would have remotely been as sharp as that. I would have signed my own death certificate just trying to comply. Everyone should just have recording on everything and at all times...The crazy thing is at the beginning he looks like he going to put the car in park and turn it off then the cop yells he has a gun. Then he smartly said "nope" you are going to see both hands at all times.
Yea because he quickly moved his hand out of frame, guessing the cop freaked out and assumed the worse.
Filming this probably saved his life.Shitty ass cop is shitty but can't shake the feeling this guy filming only made things worse. I dunno how I would've reacted but it wouldn't be like that.

I can't shake the feeling this guy might be dead if he hadn't been. Cop literally turned to the other responding officers yelling "GUN!" when they didn't have a visual on the driver and couldn't verify that he didn't. This is a few tiny steps away from a murder.can't shake the feeling this guy filming only made things worse
Wut? The cop tried to murder him. Told him to turn off the car and directly after that he yells he has a gun. He wanted him to go to turn his car off and make it look like he went for a gun.Shitty ass cop is shitty but can't shake the feeling this guy filming only made things worse. I dunno how I would've reacted but it wouldn't be like that.

The Cop fucking told him to shut the car off and the dude moved his hand to do just that. The Cop "freaking out" is all on him and none of the driver's fault.Yea because he quickly moved his hand out of frame, guessing the cop freaked out and assumed the worse.
You're right but that's not the reality. If you have a shitty bloodthirsty cop in front of you you should try to deescalate and this kid did none of that and put his life even more at risk for it.Gosh that's terrifying. Just "HE'S GOT A GUN!!" out of nowhere.
Props to the dude with the camera for standing up to the cop.

You cant be serious.Yea because he quickly moved his hand out of frame, guessing the cop freaked out and assumed the worse.
What the fuck is this bullshit?!?Shitty ass cop is shitty but can't shake the feeling this guy filming only made things worse. I dunno how I would've reacted but it wouldn't be like that.

If you believe that, then why did he repeatedly refuse to turn the ignition off even in front of the other cop right there watching?The Cop fucking told him to shut the car off and the dude moved his hand to do just that. The Cop "freaking out" is all on him and none of the driver's fault.
With all due respect, fuck outta here with this.Shitty ass cop is shitty but can't shake the feeling this guy filming only made things worse. I dunno how I would've reacted but it wouldn't be like that.

This is the even more fucked part about it. Cop yell's that and the others don't even react. I can't tell if theyre poorly "trained" or its just bullshit they shout to scare civilians into complying."he has a gun!"
the other cops don't even react. Must be a standard shout from a police officer.

Make things worse? HE'D BE FUCKING DEAD IF HE WASN'T FILMING.Shitty ass cop is shitty but can't shake the feeling this guy filming only made things worse. I dunno how I would've reacted but it wouldn't be like that.

Did I take the cop's side? For fucks sake I called him shitty, twice. I'm saying that in a bad situation the kid put his life at risk even more by responding like that to a cop pointing a fucking gun at you.A civilian should be able to do anything short of literally physical assault before I take a cop's side.
Others are saying things apparently happened differently but truth is on that video we can't clearly see what the kid was doing with his hands other than hold a phone.Are we even watching the same video? The cop said turn off the car and he was talking shit non stop till they cuffed him.

Of course it shouldn't have to be like that but it is what it is.

I agree. The filming defence works for the first part "hes got a gun" fine keep your hands up but after that he should have explained to the cop that he was going to turn off the ignition and defuse the situation. Instead of waiting to be pulled from the vehicle while the car was running.Did I take the cop's side? For fucks sake I called him shitty, twice.
