This incident went down in Muskogee, OK? If so, the cops were sucking wind.

Terry v. Ohio allows a brief stop if there is a reasonable suspicion based on clearly articulable facts that a crime is being committed, has been committed, or is about to be committed. Terry does not provide grounds for demanding identification outside those narrow parameters. And, if I understand it correctly, Terry is satisfied if the subject just says "My name Jose Jimenez" (if, of course, that's his name). Terry does not appear to require production of a physical document.

Hiibel (a Supreme Court case building on Terry) involves state ID laws. Only 23 states have them, and only a few require production of a physical document. Oklahoma is not one of the 23.

Right at about 3:44 the manager says he want him "banned" or trespassed from the store.  At that point refusing to give his name is obstruction.

Now, we only have the latter part of the video after the police arrive.  So I can only assume the guy was such a royal prick to cause Wal-Mart to call  the police on him PRIOR to the start of the video.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Still depends on how the criminal trespass law is written for Oklahoma. In many states, the first time is only ejection, not a criminal offense. If he is given notice not to darken their doors again, and he subsequently returns, that's when it becomes criminal trespass.

We don't have enough information. I agree the guy acted like to jerk. I'm not convinced that he did anything criminal.

So, get back to me when you can show that I have been CONVICTED of a crime then?
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!

ah, but he actually gives his name-just not his ID-perfectly legal.
A: beginning of video 1 cop.
cop detains him unlawfully for ID
B: more cops, argument ensues, he identifies himself, still unlawfully detained.
C: cops, while being videotaped ask fauxRed if she "would like to tresspass him/charge him with disorderly"
D: Arrest him, rather than allow him to leave which he had asked to do a few times.
Was he a jerk?
Absolutely - he probably really needed a drink, really needs to walk, really needs to be treated with courtesy and respect and really needs to evaluate the hills he dies for.
I think the cops were unjust/unwise/unlawful.
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

The cops could have handled it better, but here's the issue: the genesis of the whole situation rests squarely on his shoulders.

Walmart is allowed to have their policies. Once he had decided that he didn't want to comply with Walmart's policy on selling their stuff, he should have left. 

Acting like an entitled ass, as if Walmart is somehow obligated to sell him things, obligated to explain anything to his satisfaction,  or that the police are obligated to explain anything to him is what got him in this situation.

The fact that he was still there, arguing, after the time it took the first cop to show up is where he went wrong, and why the lion's share of the consequences are on him.

for the most part, I agree-however he asked for a printed copy of their policy and they told him they would get it, while he was waiting that is when the cops came.
I guess that's legal but underhanded.
So, I guess I agree that it is his fault , however the police are not supposed to punish you for being a dumb jerk and instead of ending the situation they coached fauxRed into pressing charges and apparently severely injured the guy.

The guys crime was not being subservient enough.
 
This sort of reminds me of the nurse that got manhandled and arrested because she would not do the cops bidding to draw blood from a suspect.

I don't remember hearing the final (if any) outcome of that little side show.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

The nurse wasn't charged, and the cop lost his job.

The guys crime was being a such a jerkwad in wal-mart that they had to call the cops on him.  We don't know what he did prior to the arrival of the Po-po and the video, but it was enough that Wal-mart decided that he was so out of control that police were needed to handle it.

Again, don't be a *expletive deleted*tard in walmart and the police don't get called on you.
