No matter how many times you watch it, looking at that kind of confrontation is disgusting. This is why you must limit any contact with any officer to as few words as possible or none if there is no need to be "compliant" or a boot-licker.

Cops need to do their job properly. What was the alternative for the cop here? 'Oh I got your student ID, thank you for complying, you are quite likely a student here, thank you for cleaning your community, keep doing what you are doing' and cop moves on like nothing happened.

Imagine if soldiers did no recon at all and instead just jump into action. Learn some patience and look out first before deciding to take action.
