With two clearly different sides of the story being told it's simply going to come down to one's own prejudice to decide who they feel was in the right, in my case I think it's quite obviously that both were in the wrong and over reacted.

Yeah, I agree. I'd find it hard to believe that if the officer responded to the same situation but this time it was a white or asian person he wouldn't ask for identification and verify the person lived there. If he did, then that would make him a lousy cop.
Let's face it, if the officer was black then this wouldn't be news worthy...which means we're being racist to the white guy!
