Highland Park police released body camera footage Thursday that shows another view of the arrest of a popular Detroit DJ who has accused officers of harassing him.

Moodymann, whose real name is Kenny Dixon Jr., posted a short, widely-shared video clip on social media of an officer pointing a gun at him and yelling "Unlock the f------ door now!" as he sat in his vehicle.

The incident began about two minutes earlier, with an officer saying "do you mind just stepping out," according to video footage Highland Park Police Chief Chester Logan played Thursday for reporters.

“I want the community to understand, there’s another perspective to this particular arrest," the chief said.

Logan also said, "I see some problems on both sides," in terms of how the incident was handled. He said the department has launched an investigation.

According to police spokeswoman Marli Blackman, officers had received a complaint about illegal scrapping when they approached Dixon Saturday while he was in his van on the 16000 block of Woodward. Dixon had been working on a building he owns there.

“(Officers) didn’t know if it was a break-in, they didn’t know if it was stripping, so they went in to investigate, and that’s kind of where things went south," Logan said.

On the video released by police, an officer can be heard saying, as police approach, that there may be a gun in the vehicle. An officer asks Dixon to roll down his window and says: "So what's going on today?" Dixon's full response is hard to hear, but at one point he says he's the owner of the property.

“Just so we can clear the situation up, do you mind just stepping out, to speak with the sergeant?” the officer said.

Dixon asks why, repeats that he's on his property, and says he's done nothing criminal. He does not get out of the vehicle.

The interaction escalates. Officers repeatedly tell Dixon to unlock his vehicle and get out. They begin to yell. The door is eventually unlocked, and Dixon is pulled out and handcuffed.

Blackman said Dixon was ticketed for a handful of offenses and released. Police said he did not produce his ID or proof that he owned the property; they later verified that he was the owner.

"He just wasn't cooperating," Blackman said.

Blackman also said Dixon failed to disclose to the officers that he has a concealed pistol license, as required by law. She said he told the officers that he had no weapon, but they found one in the vehicle.

Dixon, who could not be reached for comment, posted Wednesday on Instagram the short clip he recorded from inside his van. The video was later taken down, but it appeared on another Instagram user's post.

The Metro Times reported Dixon's original post included the text: "HP police came n (MY BACKYARD) demanding proof of ownership and this is how they reacted (Went 2 jail again) charged me 4 Breaking and entering on my own property even though I had keys.what u can't c is 9 other officers pointing their AR15 directly at my head ...next time just pull the MF trigger let's get this shit over with (I'm tired) I'm so tired)."

The body camera footage Logan played Thursday includes what happened in the moments after Dixon was pulled out of his vehicle.

At one point, an officer said, "All you had to do was open the door."

Dixon said: "You guys scared the s--- out of me."
