But it did sound like the cop was overly aggresive and wasn't acting professional at all when he mocked him about being in a world of pain.

They have a right to question, they have no right to arrest, and absolutely no right to request that he stop filming. For trespassing to occur a complaint must be made by the property owner, simply saying you don't live there does not equal trespassing.
We may have only audio during the scuffle, but we have video of the cop engaging in a physical confrontation with absolutely no cause. The upside is this guy will be getting a hefty paycheck from the police. The bad news is that scumbag with a badge will still be working.
