You instantly accept the story which goes out of it's way to paint the guy as the villain and white washes the police brutality claims. Meanwhile you discredit the other story because it paints a different picture than what you want to believe.
Simple question.. If the cops acted properly and this guy was in the wrong, then why were no charges filed? The fact the guy was not charged screams volumes about the police story being not 100% truthful. So wouldn't it make more sense that the truth is somewhere in the middle? That maybe this guy acted like a dick and the cops acted like bigger dicks abusing their power?

I don't instantly believe anything. But usually there is a cause-and-effect in any confrontation. Knowing the guy shows up and knows he will be trespassing in 4 minutes makes me read a little further.
The guy admits showing up knowing the park will be closed within minutes but he was going to start a time consuming charging process anyway. He admits he was told to leave. He admits to being argumentative when asked for ID, which when an auto is involved is pretty standard procedure.
At any moment the guy could have behaved reasonably and driven home.
As far as no charges being filed so what. Charges are dropped all the time, ALL THE TIME.
