Brandon McKenzie, who is black, stopped for walking with hands in pockets
Police officer in Pontiac, Michigan, says 'nervous' residents called 911
McKenzie says it is snowing and his hands are cold, questions why he was singled out
This is the moment a black man was stopped by police for walking with his hands in his pockets.
In a cell phone video, the officer can be seen telling Brandon McKenzie he received a 911 call saying his actions were 'making people nervous'.
Blasting the action as 'outrageous', McKenzie questioned why he was singled out over any other person walking through Pontiac, Michigan, in the snow on Thanksgiving.
There's 10,000 people in Pontiac right now with their hands in their pockets.'
The officer said it was his duty to inspect 'unusual conduct', adding 'we do have a lot of robberies, so just checking on you.'
As the shocked man films the incident in disbelief, the officer says: 'Am I inconveniencing you?'
Before eventually being told he is free to go, the man makes reference to the bitter protests over alleged police racism that are sweeping the country in the wake of Michael Brown's shooting.
He retorts: 'Because of the whole police situation going on across the country this is outrageous.'
