While I don't think the police are immune to mistakes or above criticism, I do think that they have a tough job and take way more crap in their daily job than they deserve.
The officer tries to give a ticket, the guy doesn't agree so he jumps in his vehicle and drives of, then pulls over a block later, gets out of the vehicle and as the officer approaches, the guy puts his arms up in the air.
Maybe the Officer was wrong, I wasn't there so I can't say, but in this case I would tend to give the Officer the benefit of the doubt.
