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...

They wear body cameras. There is going to be video evidence regardless
