Racial tension is already running high in America after the shooting of black teenager Michael Brown by a police officer – but that does not seem to have altered the behaviour of certain officers on the street. <br /> <br />One black man, Brandon McKean was dumbfounded to be briefly detained for ‘walking with his hands in the pocket’, by an officer in Pontiac Michigan. <br /> <br />McKean turned a camera on the officer as he asked why he had been stopped. <br /> <br />‘You were walking by. You were making people nervous. They said you had your hands in your pockets,’ the officer said. <br /> <br />‘We do have a lot of robberies, so I’m just checking on you.’ <br />Thankfully, the encounter ended nothing more confrontational than the two men high-fiving and the officer continuing on his way. <br /> <br />Writing on Facebook, McKean urged everyone to record and upload interactions with police in America.
