A New Jersey police officer threatened to 'knock out' two men and set his dog on them during a traffic stop if they refused to comply with his orders.
Footage shows Atlantic City officer Andrew Jaques unleashing a verbal tirade against driver Antoine Jones, 22 his and passenger Brian Wilson, 21, after another officer, Glenn Anthony Abrams Jr, pulled them over on February 14, 2017.
The video, obtained by NJ.com, forms the basis of a lawsuit in which the two African American men accuse Jacques, Abrams Jr and Atlantic City of racial profiling and false imprisonment.
The lawsuit alleges that Jaques pulled up to the scene 'like a lunatic' and then approached the passenger-side window of their 2001 Saturn before verbally abusing them.
