The cops were responding to a shots fired call. This prick is reaching in his pocket and they don't know for sure if he's the guy w/ a gun or not. The cops reaction is excessive, but what did the guy expect to happen?

I'm not saying a cop is never wrong. But I'm saying the time to try and argue civil rights is not when a cop is in front of you and telling you to keep your hands where he can see them. Don't give a cop a reason to kick the shit out of you especially if you're innocent.

Ha! There it is!
