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.
