Open Carry - I have a question

Before I ask.....I'll preface with this, I dont typically carry a gun on my person. I own guns but do not usually carry.

So a friend just posted a video on facebook a conversation between a cop and a citizen.

Basically the gentleman was walking down the street open carrying his pistol. The police received a few calls of concern, so the cop rolls up. He asked the gentlemen how he was doing and what not and if he minded if he held onto the pistol while they had a conversation. The guy obliged but after this point he stopped cooperating.

The office asked just to see an ID to which the kid refused and asked the officer if he had any suspicion that he was going to commit a crime.

Basically the kid did not cooperate, the officer ended up giving him is piece back and let him go on his way.

Im not sure how I feel about his, I mean if I see a guy walking around witha gun, Im not going to call the cops but im gonna keep my eye on him.

I really dont feel like the cop wqas harrassing him too much, just checking out the situation.

Brethren of the OB, educate me on the right and wrong of this.
