I get the feeling there is more to the story than what is shown in the two clips. I also know that if a cop tells you to get out of the car you comply (Pa vs Mimms) as it is a lawful order. If you don't comply expect to be pepper sprayed and tossed on the ground at best. If you feel you were wronged after the interaction you file a complaint, you don't sit there and resist during the incident as it only serves to escalate the situation.
He also had orders to keep his hands up and the other cop even told him not to reach in to undo his seatbelt. So how do you leave your vehicle if you can’t undo your seatbelt or lower your hands?
Well, for starters if he had not kept driving until he felt like pulling over he most likely would not have been in that situation in the first place. Second, you tell the officers " I am going to unlock the door". After unlocking the door you say "I am going to open the door". Use your hand to open the door with the outside handle. Now the officers can fully see you and see what you are doing. Now you say "I am undoing my seatbelt". I think you can figure out how it goes from there.
