My own view is that an officer in the military is held to a higher standard of conduct. IMO, he should have treated the BP's request to roll down the window at the outset as an order from a 5 star general. I doubt that there would have been a confrontation at all if he had. It looks to me like he was deliberately being provocative. An "I don't HAVE to, so I'm not going to, so THERE!" attitude.
Not a crime, but clearly not a higher standard.
