ROHNERT PARK, CALIFORNIA POLICE OFFICER Dave Rodriguez SUED FOR DRAWING GUN ON MAN RECORDING CONFRONTATION

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. -- A man who recorded a California police officer pulling a gun on him is now filing a civil rights claim against the city and the officer is now answering the accusation.

"The purpose of the brandishing of the weapon was apparent. It was to harass him, it was to intimidate him," McComas' attorney Jarin Beck said.

Beck told ABC7 News his client didn't deserve the treatment he received from Rohnert Park police officer Dave Rodriguez.

"You have your gun out because you're a police officer and you're trying to intimidate me and this is going all over YouTube," McComas said in a video he shot.

"No one died, but It's a situation where police can't do this. They're the people who are supposed to be protecting us and we shouldn't feel like we need to protect ourselves from them," Beck said.
