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.

So you would willingly and without protest allow yourself to be handcuffed, placed in a squad car and have your property rifled through simply for being the unfortunate victim of mistaken identity? Sorry, I don't believe that.
Had the cops walked up and said "We have an arrest warrant for a man named Michael who matches your description, could you please gives us your name and identification?" this would have gone much differently. Instead, they walk up and ask him who he is with no explanation and then tell him hey have a warrant for HIS arrest and he is under arrest without ever asking for ID.

I've seen them. They don't add mush other than the cops nagging family members about the resemblance in photos and a family member pleading for Patrick to cooperate AFTER he had been tased. Nowhere on the full vides do the cops ask for his identification. And they still lie about it.
