"I saw a police officer push somebody and I've always been told if something like that is going on, it's important to have an objective source of data for what happened," Clement said. "So, I pulled my phone out and I started filming."
That is when a Baton Rouge police officer is seen on surveillance video walking over to Clement and snatching his phone away.
"It got ripped from my hands and as I turned to see who ripped it, another officer slammed me into the railing outside," Clement added.
That officer is then seen on surveillance video putting his hands around Clement's neck and tossing him to the ground where he partially landed on top of another officer who was apprehending someone else.
"They threw me on the ground and started throwing their knees into me," he explained.
A friend of Clement is seen on the surveillance video grabbing the arm of the officer who put his hands around Clement's neck. That man was then quickly tackled by police and also arrested. That man said police also sprayed him with mace.
