The family hadn't seen the video footage before it was publicly released.
Maurice Gordon was pulled over by Sgt. Randall Wetzel on May 23 for allegedly speeding. Once he was pulled over, his car became disabled in the left shoulder of the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey, according to the attorney general’s office. The officer called a tow truck and offered him a mask, then requested Gordon sit in the back of his police car until a tow truck arrived.
According to the video, Gordon, who was studying chemistry at Dutchess Community College and worked as an Uber driver, sat in the cruiser for approximately 20 minutes before exiting the car. He was not under arrest, however, Wetzel yelled at him to “get back in the car” multiple times, then began struggling with Gordon. The attorney general’s office claims Gordon tried to get into the driver’s seat of Wetzel’s patrol car twice.
