And you harping on the first officer really shows you are being disingenuous in this discussion, the cop was talking to the guy asking him questions that the guy clearly didn't want to answer as he became more hostile with each one and therefore continued to arouse suspicion. The cop isn't going to "go run it for warrants" and leave him standing there on the road so he can bolt when the guy is clearly not acting right.

No I have to disagree, I stated factual information. In regards to the actions of the 2 officer involved. I can respect and understand your defense of the officers in this specific situation, but what is making my conversation with you stagnant is you not acknowledging the fact the civilian was compliant by identifying himself. Again, I would think it’s reasonable to understand his reaction to being falsely accused of something. It is clear we disagree on that.

Providing his ID is not sufficient when he's behaving erratically as he was in the video. That's where we disagree. If more people did it the way I am endorsing we'd have even fewer Floyds and this guy, your way leads to more violence. Fighting, resisting, and being aggressive or rude to the cop checking you out is the road to pain. The sad part is most people understand this an behave appropriately, but the millions of those interactions don't make the headlines or cause riots.
