Bodycam footage showing a cop approaching a man at a gas pump is going viral after the officer mistook the gas pump nozzle for a deadly weapon. The clip, which has already seen over 20 million views on TikTok, has been labeled as another example of a police officer being a little too trigger happy.
In the clip we see the police officer approaching the man at the pump as he asks him, “what do you have in your hand?” The man doesn’t hesitate to drop the nozzle and put his hands up and comply with the officer and it quickly becomes apparent that the man was never holding a weapon.
