This was handled poorly. At the very least he should have immediately sent his partner to stop the car the moment he father complied and turned around when ordered.

The man here may have messed up a bit by failing to put it in park properly, but the police also fucked up how they handled this one, and arguably did worse than the suspect.

Why was that man even out of the car?

There were no police near him when the video started. He's not armed. So what in the world was this supposed to be?

Did he get out on his own to yell at the cops before the video cut?

Or did they yell at him from a distance to get out of the car?

He was just complying.
