Boston man stares down police 'jump out crew' investigating gun crime after overzealous officers surrounded him on sidewalk

Video shared by a Boston man shows the moment he was confronted by two members of the city police's 'jump out crew'. 

The man, who goes by @jayglizz45 on TikTok, was seen being approached by overzealous 'officers' wearing police vests on a sidewalk late at night. 

The two unidentified men, believed to be cops, began to feverishly question the unsuspecting yet calm man about 'reasonable suspicion about a firearm arrest' 

But the victim is heard responding back and asking: 'What law am I breaking, officer?' to which one of the men wearing a backwards hat said: 'I just want to have a conversation'. 

After answering the victim's question, the reverse-cap wearing 'officer' can be heard becoming agitated as he says: 'I arrested that kid for a gun and you walked off. It was very clear that you had something to do with it. 

'So you could record me all you want but we're going to have a conversation. You want to do it like a man or you wanna record me?'

So you could record me all you want but we're going to have a conversation. You want to do it like a man or you wanna record me?'

He then begins to question about how he knew the kid but the victim composedly replies that he has no idea about what the 'cop' is talking about. 

After hearing this, the reverse-cap wearing man threatens: 'You wanna get locked up again? You wanna talk like a man now?' 

But the victim tells the 'officer' that he doesn't want to talk and that it is his 'constitutional right'.

The very agitated official then implies that the victim is 'choosing to tell him that he had nothing to do with [what happened] in the park'. 

The sufferer then reminds the 'officer' that the park is a public area open for use to which he replies: 'The whole world knows that it is a public park'. 

He then says: 'So, you're telling me that you didn't know the guy. Can you swear on your life? Did you know the girl?'

At this point in the video, the victim can be heard getting annoyed at the unwarranted questioning and asks to be 'left alone'. 

But the 'cop' tells him that he is 'detained' and a 'part of investigation'. He is also heard reminding him that while the man can choose not to answer any of his questions, he is still having a conversation with him.

The victim also turns the camera to the other officer at one point in the video, who is seen standing on the side while chewing gum

The annoyed sufferer then tells the man that he does not want to talk to him and that he should call his lawyer. 

He also turns the camera to the other officer at that point, who is seen standing on the side while chewing gum. 

The backwards cap wearing man ultimately moves away and says: 'Look out for a call from your PO'. 

After a second, the victim asks if he is 'free to go' to which the 'cop' responds: 'Yeah'. 

A jump-out crew, also known as a jump-out squad, is described as a special policing unit that quickly surrounds and questions a person or group. 

They are usually on the hunt for people they 'reasonably suspect of crimes', particularly in relation to firearms and are known to violently jump on unsuspecting people and search them. 

Members of these crews tend to dress in plain clothes and usually have some body armor on them. 

According to the DC Justice Lab, the practice has been so frequently used in black neighborhoods that sometimes people raise their shirts before the officers can even jump out of their cars to avoid being roughly searched.
