The arrest took place while gangsta rapper Yung Lott was filming a music video for his single, "Demo." Director and videographer Brian Strom told newshounds everyone complied with the police in fear of "getting shot." He also continued to film during the raid. He believes the police shouldn't have interrupted the video shoot or arrest some of the residents who were extras in the video.
"Young men in a poverty-stricken neighborhood, purposely staying busy to stay out of trouble, gathered together to do something positive, creative, and productive and ended up being violently stereotyped and prejudged," he captioned the video on YouTube.
The plain clothes officers are seen interrogating the 20 men at the video shoot.
After the raid, police arrested Taj Williams on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and 24-year-old Michael Higginbotham was arrested on suspicion of selling narcotics.
