SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A Syracuse police officer involved in the forceful removal of a man from a vehicle Friday night said he was fearful that the driver “could be concealing a weapon," according to court papers.

Shaolin Moore, 23, of Syracuse, was stopped for loud music in the 100 block of Grace Street at about 8:22 p.m. Friday, police said. Moore was charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and a sound reproduction violation, a non-criminal local offense.

Yamil Osorio, a passenger in Moore’s car, recorded the arrest and the video was circulated on social media over the weekend.

The 32-second video shows the driver being pulled from the car before an officer approaches the man filming the arrest. The officer grabs the phone and the video ends.

Syracuse police officer Christopher Buske’s statement from the arrest was obtained by The Post-Standard | Syracuse.com from Syracuse City Court. The two-page statement detailed the officer’s actions and thoughts during the traffic stop.

Moore was holding up his license when Buske approached the vehicle, according to the officer’s statement. Buske took the license and asked Moore to get out of the vehicle, the officer said in the statement.

The video begins with Moore and Osorio arguing with Buske about getting out of the vehicle. In the video you can hear the officer say “get the f--- out of the car or else you’re getting sprayed." Buske’s threat to spray Moore was not mentioned in his statement.

In the video, Buske grabs Moore by the back of the neck as he starts to pull him from the vehicle.

According to the video, it took five seconds to remove Moore from the vehicle. Buske’s details those five seconds in his report.

During that time Buske said that Moore “removed his right hand from the steering wheel and quickly reached towards the front of his waistband as he luned (sic) his upper body back inside the vehicle.”

The video shows Moore grabbing the steering wheel, then reaching down, removing a cord that was wrapped around his leg.

Once out of the vehicle, the video shows Moore on the ground with officers trying to arrest him.

Buske said Moore was “laying on his stomach with his hands and arms tucked in between his midsection and the ground.”

The video misses about two seconds of what is happening outside the vehicle. But when the camera shows Moore on the ground his hands are near his face, not his midsection.

“Due to Moore already reaching for his waistband one time as I was attempting to remove him from the vehicle and his hands currently being out of my sight and tucked underneath his body around his waistband area, I fear that he could be retrieving a weapon,” Buske said.

Buske struck Moore’s head two to three times with a closed fist, according to the statement and the video. Moore was put into handcuffs.

After police ordered Osorio to put his phone down, the video stops. Osorio was released at the scene.
