According to Houston Police, two officers were driving down Cullen Boulevard at Ward at 2 a.m. Saturday when they saw a man in the middle of the street with a revolver pointed in the air.
Both officers got out of the car and ordered him to drop the weapon and show his hands.

Dwight Boykins is a city council member.

The cops were wearing body cameras, police said, although the footage hasn't been released.
