WATCH: NJ Student Angry, Feared For Life After Cops Pointed Guns

GLASSBORO, NJ — A Rowan University student was combative after police stopped him on campus and pointed guns at his car last week, according to a recently released video. Altaif Hassan, who told the officers they better have a valid right to have stopped him, said he's been pulled over multiple times since he first came to campus, and expressed fear he was going to be shot.

“Did y'all find the gun?” Hassan yelled at the officers in the video released by the Glassboro Police Department. “Go search my f------ vehicle.”

Hassan told officers he's been pulled over multiple times by both the university and borough police since he came to campus. He also told this to nj.com in a previous interview, saying he's been pulled over on campus since he was a freshman. He also said he was never so sure he was going to die.”

“If I had of sneezed the wrong way, you would have shot the sh-- out of me,” he told the officers in the video. One of the officer notes that no one got hurt, and that the officers weren’t being ridiculous because they have families to go home to.

He also said they had no reason to stop him, to which the officer responded, “We might have gotten some wrong information, but we didn’t stop you for no reason.”

The Glassboro Police Department released a full video of the traffic stop involving two students on the campus of Rowan University that took place last week and started a firestorm of controversy.

Police stopped the car with two students in it on Monday afternoon, Oct. 1. A video of the incident that went viral shows the cops pointing guns at the students in the car.

Police then posted body cam footage from some of the event, which they said began when a witness ran into a store in which they were investigating a shoplifting and told cops someone had pointed a gun at the car before the gunman got into the car.

Police followed the car onto the university’s campus and pulled both students from the car. They read them their Miranda Rights in order to gain consent to search the car.

When the officers didn't find a gun, they asked the 21-year-old Hassan and 18-year-old Giavanna Roberson, who was a passenger in the car, if someone had pointed something at the car that could've been mistaken for a gun. They said no.

Glassboro police released the video after questions arose surrounding the stop. Initially, Glassboro police hadn’t made a public statement about the stop, and university officials believed it was a case of mistaken identity. Spokesperson Joe Cardona said the officers were stopping a car that matched the description of a car that had been involved in an armed robbery.

But the following day, police said there was no mistaken identity, and posted the bodycam footage. Cardona then said that although the details were different, he felt the heart of the matter was the same because the officers were still responding as though they were stopping a car in which the occupants had a gun.

The university held a town hall style meeting with students following the incident to discuss how they felt following the incident, which hits close to home for some given the nature of some incidents of police-involved shootings nationally. Hassan himself has questioned whether he should feel safe on his own campus, according to NBC.

The additional footage was released this week were offered “in the spirit of complete transparency and to demonstrate the Police Department’s compliance with appropriate protocols and training for dealing with this type of incident,” the police department said on Facebook.

“In addition, Borough and Rowan Officials will form a committee that will meet on a regular basis to communicate and dialog to form a bridge to move forward,” Glassboro Police Chief Franklin S. Brown Jr. said in the post. “This committee will include Rowan, Borough and SGA officials.”
