The cop was out of line, but plain and simple, a confrontation with an officer is not the place to make your point. Also, even if you don't respect the person, you respect the badge. Period. If you have a problem with the person behind the badge, then you talk/write to his supervisor with a complaint ( and perhaps this video ) and soon you won't have assholes in a position of authority.
Lastly, he is not in a position of "assumed" authority. As a society, we have agreed as a majority, that those hired into public service as officers of the law have authority. If you don't like it, then write your senator or representatives and ask them to change it. I
've known very many officers, some pricks, some awesome individuals. Both get spoken to respectfully, and the pricks have been reported to their supervisors.
