Seaver: You might want to consider that less hostility might produce a more positive result. That you had a ready insult for the security guard seems to me to indicate some pre-existing animosity. You might make things better off for yourself by being a little more cooperative. I'm not telling you what to do, just suggesting that you consider your part in the interaction and how you might be able to improve it the next time one occurs.

I know this, however at the time it was 3am and I had just spent a good 9 hours straight studying for tests and writing a report. I was stressed, tired, hungry, and this guy for no reason was preventing me from alleviating any of those problems.
The incident before two cops were trying to enter a house in which a young 12 year old child was clearly the only occupant, and then attempted intimidation as a means.
Then the final incident it was clearly generated by nothing more than racism.
While I fully admit I was a dick in all three situations, I fully believe I was justified in all three. In any of these situations if the cops had shown less hostility it definately would have produced more positive results. I have had numerous neutral experiences (not positive, but not negative) with cops who treated me respectfully and I recipricated in return.
