Even if he *was* a jerk, are the police not supposed to be fair and impartial? Or is it ok for a person to smack someone around for being a jerk these days in america? Sounds like the cop was being a jerk from that video, he asked for licence/registration, but just didn't like the fact the window was only open slightly, so felt the driver was 'disrespecting' him or whatever the fuck went through his i-am-god mind. It's only at that point he asks the driver to get out, and you can see he was antagonised by that point.
how the hell did a whole nation pretty much get brainwashed into thinking you can do whatever the fuck you like just because you are a cop? I'm honestly stunned when I see some of the responses in threads like these.

Word for word he says.....
"I'm being pulled over by the Saint Petersburg police department one block away from my residence. He is accusing me of apparently refusing to abide by a traffic stop. He flashed his lights half a block from where I lived, so I pulled into my own apartments. This is my complex".
The cop most likely followed him for some time before putting his lights on, and when he did put his lights on the guy fails to stop and continues to drive to his apartment complex. No matter how you spin it, this is traffic stop - You do not continue on your way to destination when the police are pulling you over.
This is called felony evading.
Then he refuses to roll down his window, refuses to hand over his ID and insurance, and then refuses to get out of his car. At that point, you've committed a felony, and police are going to bust out your window and drag you out - no exceptions.
