Michael Rainey Jr. is opening up about his crazy experience with a police officer during a routine traffic stop.The now-deleted video was posted on Rainey’s IG story with the caption that read “This guy was bout to shoot me I swear that camera saved my life. Look what he does as soon as he looks into the lens. Someone, please send me his precinct or whatever if you know. These power-tripping ass police need they badge taken. Unlawful traffic stop.” The PowerBook star also went on to explain that the officer didn’t explain why he was being pulled over. “Didn’t even pull me over. Didn’t tell me what I was being pulled over for. Just came to whip yelling and s**t wit his hand on his gun. This guy also said stop reaching while I was looking for my license, I guess he was tryna come up with a reason to shoot me.”https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5SDgXBdQU/?igshid=1444mzdc33o5a
