When this happened he cursed, refused to show ID and made a homophobic comment to the officer. According to the article I've read. Only then does the video start. I didn't hear anyone mention his race on the video except he himself. I just think the whole thing was handled badly by both parties and a huge fuss ensued. That is what I am saying.

If you're reading the same article as me then it also goes on to say the officer might have gone too far. Which is surely the point, why are we physically holding anyone for eating a sandwich? He gave him a citation for eating. Laughable but true.
