From [HERE] A horrifying video has emerged showing St. Petersburg police forcing a man out of his car before pouncing on him, leaving him hospitalized with several injuries, all because the cop claimed he was in fear for his life.

According to his report:

I exited my marked patrol cruiser and walked towards the vehicle and I noticed the driver staring at me with a blank stare as he continued revving the engine louder and louder. I thought by his actions the subject was going to attempt to hit me with his car.

The video, however, shows it was Curtis Shannon, a young Black man from Florida who was probably fearing for his life during the arrest. He was stopped one block from his home. Shannon is a Marine Corps Corporal. 

[Stop Pretending you are in a post-racial utopia. Forget what you believe and have in confidence in what you see and know to be real. Non-white men, especially Black men, must understand the reality that they are dealing with. This is not a benign environment and you can be killed at any time in the name of racism/white supremacy. That is reality - truths about legal rights will be of little value in the present moment of a one-on-one encounter with a racist white cop or a Black Android [programmed in service of white domination] cop. It is not fair -  but nothing is the way it should be in this white supremacy system. You are not white and are also not in a position to make demands to cops. In reality you are powerless. On the street all you should be thinking about is how to avoid 1) death, 2) injury and 3) greater confinement (avoid arrest and do not incriminate yourself) when dealing with these cops. Anything else is probably not constructive - as we see above.]
