You are always going to have people test the bounds of the law. I wouldn't get too worked up about this. The Cop in the video may or may not know this, but the way he handled the situation basically ensured that these three guys, and probably a lot of others, would have little interest in walking around carrying a sidearm and a an AR15 taking videos. They had their 60 seconds of excitement when the officer showed up and started to question them - that's what they wanted. The rest was uneventful and basically pretty "boring" for lack of a better word. Ok, now it's been done, posted on the internet for everyone to watch.
Also, the cops now have a good training video on how to handle these situations. Although, I think perhaps he should have had his own camera running and called for backup. Three armed, one with an AR against one cop with a sidearm - I wouldn't like those odd if things turned ugly.
