Yeah, I did. And it shows two people not complying at all with the police and making the situation seem far more hectic than it was. The woman in the background is hysteric from the video start... the cops kindly asked him to open his door, and he refused.
They tried to justify not opening the door because the cops "pulled out a gun". Where is the gun to be seen in the video? The cops are not holding guns or even putting them in the people faces. Neither are the cops putting those children in danger at all.
The people were acting ridiculous. Come on.
Demonize me all you want but the entire situation was completely warped and twisted by the video makers and subsequent commentators.

Wow, you're sad, and 100% incorrect.
How was the woman being hysterical? She was explaining what happened prior to the start of the video. Everyone was genuinely confused as to what was going on. The man wasn't carrying an ID (and that's his right as a US citizen NOT to have to carry around an ID if he so chooses), so he gave them a paper with all his information on it. When he reached in his bag, they pulled a gun on him (this is confirmed by the police report) with his children not 2 feet away from them. And even after he gave them his information, they still demanded he step out of the vehicle. That should have been the end of it.
I would be ****ing apprehensive about stepping out of the car after that as well. We all know what the next step in this story is; we've seen it countless times over the past few months.
On top of that, the officers had no right to demand that he step out of the vehicle, even for a seatbelt violation. If they're being pulled over for no seatbelt and there is no other probable cause, none of those passengers has to get out of the car, whether the officer "asks nicely" or not. And again, I don't know how you can say they "kindly asked" him to step out after they pulled a gun on them.
This situation is only going to get worse and worse until every last pos cop in this country is forced to wear a camera and film all interactions with citizens. Until then, black Americans need to brush up on our rights.
