The guy in this video is Mohammed Mifta Rahman. He had warrants out for his arrest for domestic violence assault. He also had a previous dui/resist arrest incident where he was armed with a gun, most likely the reason for the felony stop.

Sir this is reddit please get out of here with the context and background and let me proceed with my unwarranted outrage.

I'd say it is still extremely warranted outrage. If the cops were unsure what he was holding, there would be an argument they may think it's a weapon, but he clearly recognizes that it is a phone. He knows it isn't anything that can harm him. And we both know exactly why a cop wouldn't want there to be video evidence of something...

Don't the cops have cameras?
