In the most recent incident involving authorities, filming, and firearms, a new viral phone video from California depicts a bizarre situation where a local police officer unholsters his weapon at a man for no apparent reason.

The video was taken by Don McComas, of Rohnert Park, California, about 50 miles north of San Francisco. The five-minute film was posted to YouTube on August 3, and it shows a Rohnert Park police SUV slowly approaching McComas on what appears to be a quiet residential street. In the YouTube notes, McComas wrote that it all started when he was out in front of his house, hooking up his boat to his car.

Parked and seated behind the wheel, the officer seems to be taking a picture of McComas with his own cellphone after two minutes. The cop exits the car and approaches McComas, telling him to "take his hand out of his pocket." The officer then unholsters his weapon, pointing it at the ground most of the time (although he appears to start to raise it).

"No, sir, I’ve done nothing. I’ve done absolutely nothing," McComas responds, putting another phone and his car keys on top of his own car.

The officer, later identified by the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat as Dave Rodriguez, next continues to argue with the man. McComas eventually asks why Rodriguez got out of his vehicle, prompting this odd exchange.

Officer: "You take a picture of me, I’m taking a picture of you." McComas: "You take a picture and leave." Officer: "OK, I don’t have to leave." McComas: "Neither do I."

Shortly after, McComas asks if the officer suspects him of a crime. The officer, gun still unholstered, next says, "If I did, I would arrest you, OK? So go ahead and have a nice day, put it on YouTube, I don’t really care." He promptly goes back to his car and drives away.

In a statement posted to Facebook, Rohnert Park Mayor Amy Ahanotu and City Manager Darrin Jenkins wrote, "We’ve been made aware of this matter and we are taking it seriously." The politicians added that the city would "conduct an internal review to verify that appropriate protocols were followed."

Ars attempted to contact city officials, the police, and McComas with a request for comment. We will update this post should new information become available.

UPDATE Friday 3:51pm CT: The City of Rohnert Park said in a statement posted to Facebook: "The officer has been placed on temporary paid administrative leave."
