I'm with the cops on this one. Uncooperative. First thing he says is "don't knock on my window" and then he proceeds to roll it back up.

I said the exact thing to my wife this morning. Not following instructions as per usual, and then they wonder why things escalate; listen to the officer for crying out loud!
Bad apples he says. LOL He is the bad apple, if the jerk would have put his window down and showed some respect he may have gone on his way with a verbal warning, instead he wants theater.
Cops are wrong, clear as day I would think.
He gave his license as required, told the cops to write up his ticket. Cop did not like that he rolled up his window or his attitude. Well, to bad as that is the cost of being a public servant.
Cop was wrong. You do not have to comply. Sickening honesty and I support the police but they are wrong this time. He does not have to comply other than to provide his license which he did, he doesnt even have to answer or talk to the police if he chooses not too. My guess is Police will be reprimanded or retrained or if he pursues this will sue and most likely win but will be settled before it gets that far.
Go ahead and flame me!

Put yourself in the cop's shoes. The driver rolled up a darkly tinted window and the cop can't see what the driver is doing. The cop wants to go home to his family and his family wants him to come home.
If you get pulled over, roll your window down and show respect.

At one point, it appears (through the tint) that he rolled up his window in an attempt to conceal fastening his seat belt; too little too late.
Both.
TH: Obey the traffic laws and MORE than likely, nothing happens. When pulled over, comply, be polite, and don't make the side of the road the courthouse. He has had run ins with the police before.
Cops: It seemed way too quick from asking to removal from car. The cop lost his patience too quickly.

If you're scared don't be a cop.
Scared of what? Getting shot? You aren't afraid of getting shot?
brain dead take
I understand your emotions. It doesnt matter, he was treat like a criminal where there was a traffic violation. The window tinting was legal we can assume because he was not ticketed for it. Im just talking legal stand point. I always respected the job police do but it doesnt change the facts in this case for those who do not respect the police, it is not a requirement.
In Florida, you are required to roll your window down during a stop. By putting it back up, it's a violation (punishable???).
It's not a lawful command unless there is a reasonable suspicion of a crime that will hold up in court should he pursue it. I was going to delete this because I am unsure, state laws vary but typically there has to be a reason. It is possible that @Toy4x4 has a good point. I do see you have to roll down your window in Florida and reading more, you might have to comply if told to exit the vehicle which he did comply.
Interesting situation ... Im not sure of the answer yet but those cops behaved like I have seen Florida cops behave before. Including lost court cases for flashing your lights to warn others of radar traps.

It is not about my emotions. What do you think the cop understands about the situation when the driver is being obnoxious and is behind a darkly tinted window. If the cop didn't see the potential threat, then he wasn't paying attention. He was paying attention.

Sometimes I watch these videos, which are all similar in theme, and can't help but feel that certain people act in a difficult, evasive, and rude manner just to be difficult and elicit a response, although it never seems to be the response they want. Or is it? 
. I don't know why it's so difficult just to act normally when you get pulled over instead of acting like a spoiled child. If I were to get pulled over, I would expect a reaction if I talk to them in that manner and rolled up a darkly tinted window as if I was trying to hide something. Are these requests from police just so hard to comply with while the traffic stop is taking place? Does he not think for a second that had he not behaved in this way, that they would have never asked him to even get out of the car? Spoiled, entitled, deserved what he got.

Cop did me a favor when I was 19.
Similar situation except I was parked. I didn't appreciate the officer tapping my Porsche's sideview, and it escalated into a physical altercation. Let's suffice it to say, I did not win.
For whatever reason, I realized my error on the spot. And guess what? The cop apologized that this had to happen. However, he qualified his apology. He stated that my actions and demeanor could get myself, and himself, injured. I agreed and apologized, and we shook hands. It was a different time. The 80's. I sometimes feel today, everything is at the extremes and ready to blow.
So for me, I'm with the cops. It didn't have to go that way, but, the kid can also apologize and both parties can learn. Then again, I wasn't a NFL player.

Right... I was pulled over and ticketed for speeding once. I was not removed from the vehicle or taken to jail. Maybe because I was respectful and compliant. Funny how that works.
