According to eyewitnesses, a group of men was hanging out in the area when the officer approached and reportedly told them to move. When they refused, the situation escalated. The video shows the officer getting into his vehicle and appearing to drive aggressively toward one of the men, swerving between the street, sidewalk, and grass in what appears to be an attempt to strike him.
