I am not a huge fan of Chris Rock, but once he said something to the effect of "If you don't want to get beat up by the cops, then do what they tell you!". The requests made by the officer were not in the least unreasonable. All he asked was for the man to calm down and stop shouting in public.
How many times should he have been asked to calm down? Perhaps his bahavior might have been construed as having the potential to incite violence. An older black man on his front porch yelling about being harrassed by a racist cop might very well incite violence.
