    I really wonder if there will be any outcry for this police abuse because there most certainly should be.

    I don't think cops have to show their ID's especially when they are uniformed and in marked cars. Jumping out of your car to argue with them is a good way to get drawn on. If he was black...

    I read somewhere his wife stated that he has asked police for ID and it's not like he was being uber agressive, they over reacted plain and simple. and yes if he wasn't white there would be a bigger uproar for sure.

    I meant if he was black he might've been shot, based on recent examples.

    Why would you ask a uniformed police officer driving a patrol car for an ID if not to be belligerent? Is he really that paranoid that he thinks people in costume are stalking him?
