Highland Park police officers pulled their guns on Detroit DJ Moodymann during a confrontation outside his home, the Metro Times is reporting.
Moodymann posted a video of the encounter Wednesday in a since-deleted Instagram post, the Metro Times said. The 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 video, which also appeared on another Instagram user’s page, seems to show an officer pointing a gun at Moodymann through a car window and yelling “Unlock the f—— door now!” Moodymann responds that he is unlocking it.
Moodymann, whose real name is Kenny Dixon, Jr., could not be immediately be reached for comment Wednesday night.
