About as difficult as telling the guy what they are there for. "Michael Clay, we have a warrant for your arrest" would have all that needed to be said.
At least then Patrick would have understood that it was a mix up and that he didn't need to be afraid since it would be cleared up quickly.

The video in the OP is propaganda from Patrick's lawyer. The raw videos from all three cops sheds light on the entire sequence. In hindsight the cops definitely over reacted and there is no excuse for not asking for the ID. Where I give them the benefit of the doubt is there is no way I would let that kid reach into his pocket while sitting in the car. So asking for his ID after he is standing is the proper procedure. They told him he was under arrest before they had his ID and they should be suspended at the very least. When Patrick sat back down and grabbed the steering wheel he escalated the situation beyond their mistake to his disregard for their orders. Even if he was mistakenly detained it should have been cleared up peacefully (as it was after they tazed him and took him out of the vehicle) until he resisted. There is plenty of wrong on both sides of this and it will be good for training cops and the overall discussion about revising police tactics.

Changes nothing. Cops still would have wanted to make sure kid wasn't packing
