Police in Boulder, Colorado, drew their guns on a black man who was picking up trash on his own lawn. To avoid being wrong about something and to justify his continued presence, the first responder pretends that the man's trash grabber is a weapon; more cops soon arrive to escalate the confrontation, ultimately surrounding and detaining him. The victim's housemate, Vanardo Merchant, took video and made sure the officers knew they were being filmed.
Check out officer cool dude here, relaxing with his shades and very eager to taser a man.
