This situation was different tho. Had the cops been calm and in control of themselves they would have seen tl that this situation a) didn't need 20 squad cars for back up b) didn't require 7 or 8 officers surrounding him, c) all that was needed was to write a citation, and d) the guy was calm, non threatening, and trying to explain that he had something in his hands.
Good cops stay calm and handle situations properly. Bad cops flip out, cause problems, and escalate situations... and then blame the victim.
