An LGBT activist and former North Carolina state Senate candidate filmed a police officer trying to grab his phone during an arrest his department later described as a “detainment,” Think Progress reported. The footage, shot by 33-year-old Ty Turner on his cell phone, shows the officer telling Turner to “put the phone down” while stopping him in a parking lot where Turner was distributing information on voters’ rights during a “Moral Monday” event at Marshall Park in Charlotte on Monday. “Sir, I don’t have to put the phone down,” Turner replies, before the officer moves toward him and tells him, “You are under arrest.” However, Qnotes, an LGBT publication, reported that a spokesperson for the department later said Turner was only being detained. “I’m asking a question,” Turner says in the video as the officer accosts him and handcuffs him. “Stop resisting,” the officer says. “Why am I resisting?” Turner replies.
