Shia LaBeouf has heated exchange with cops outside New Orleans home

Shia LaBeouf was seen having a tense exchange with police outside his New Orleans home on Friday. The actor stood on the top step of his porch in a short-sleeved shirt, gesturing emphatically and pointing at a security camera while saying, "You gotta understand who I am.

I’m a target," and calling himself an "easy target." The clip shows him lifting his T-shirt to expose his upper body, making the sign of the cross and looking upward. As the encounter escalated, LaBeouf walked back onto his porch and shouted about "sitting in jail for f–king four months for punching a man," adding that he has "a f–king three-year-old!" Officers approached as he yelled that he doesn't trust authorities "at all," then began wailing with frustration.

On the street he continued screaming, "What are you talking about? That’s why I never call you!" while walking, lifting his shirt to his face and loudly sobbing; police appeared to leave as he kept crying.
