In the specific instance of this case, an officer was investigating a situation that, on its face, looked extremely irregular. The cop went to investigate and the guy refuses to cooperate when he clearly should have. Had he not acted like a complete prick, the whole thing probably would have evaporated right then and there.

i was under the impression that the cop didn't ask what was going on - he simply walked up and asked for ID. the guy asked why and the cop said he was investigating. the guy asked investigating what? and the brilliant cop's return was i'm investigating an investigation. this should have all ended after the guy asked why the cop wanted his ID. the proper response from the cop should have been "i'm checking out a report of domestic abuse" and it would have been over.
this is just an instance of a stupid cop and a redneck going toe to toe. and now the supreme court has really screwed up by telling us that the cops can demand your ID for NO apparent reason. i don't think this really bodes well for the future.
