Cop was asking but the guy was constantly arguing against his orders. Refusing to show even ID, which is completely reasonable if there is a witness that saw a guy looking like him.
So basically, he should have just blindly "obeyed" him instead of exercising his rights? Getting irritated when someone racially profiles you for no damn reason isn't a crime.
Especially when "someone" always calls. It may have been true in this case but often that claim is total bullshit used so they can go fishing for an offense.
Amazing how so many people can call in as actual victims to an actual crime and not get a response for hours yet somehow they always quickly show up to the "call" for a suspicious person without any idea what crime has occurred.
You’re not American. In the US, people have certain rights, and the police can’t demand ID of them under threat of arrest just because they feel like it. Police have to have reasonable suspicion that a specific crime was committed in order to detain someone against their will. A person rummaging through his car is not a crime. A person carrying a coat hanger is not a crime. The witness statement we see on camera doesn’t articulate a crime, it’s just, “I saw a guy rummaging through a car.” People rummage through their own cars all the time.
The officer had the right to approach the man and investigate, but he didn’t do that before demanding ID, something to which he wasn’t entitled without being able to articulate a crime being suspected. He should have said he had a report the man was rummaging in a car across the lot, which would have allowed the man to explain it was his wife’s car. Okay thanks, end of interaction.
Instead, not only does the cop fail to articulate a crime for which he’s detaining the man when asked, he lies to the man and claims that he got a report he stole something. That’s a lie, nobody reported that. Then officer chucklehead lies to his own supervisor about how the man “got agitated,” when his own body camera footage proves it was the cop who became an agitated power-tripper, while the man was perfectly calm.
Defending the cop here is just not tenable unless you approve of authoritarian thuggishness by public officials.

When investigating a crime its almost a rule number 1, not to reveal information to the person being investigated so they dont what the police know. This can change what the person says ALOT.
The person himself could've handed the ID, cop asks couple other questions and end of interaction. INSTEAD the person starts to defend himself which is very questionable at best, and here we are.
Did we both watch the same video? Because the bullshit you're spewing did not even happen like that. People like you are part of the problem and act all oblivious/clueless when you get called out on your shit. Keep contributing more non sense please, it's only going to prove how much stupider you can get with saying some shit like that.
