If I was standing outside my car and a cop came up to me for no apparent reason and asked for my ID without giving me a valid reason, I'd refuse too. The cop should have explained why he was there, I haven't seen the video either but the girl did do the wrong thing by jumping out of the truck. The cop had the right to take hold her down and cuff her. Again, I haven't seen the tape but apparently he took her down too voilently. Either way, she would have never been put in that situation if the cop had given them a good reason why he's harassing them.
I have alot of respect for what the police do but they get put in situations like this alot, and sometimes they screw up.
