A free American citizen has a right to argue with a cop without being arrested. This is America, not the Soviet Union (or at least used to be).

Do other American citizens deserve to be attacked by the President of the United States, in front of millions of Americans, implying they are stupid and racist before knowing the facts?

Can falsely alleging that someone is a racist, cause them great harm, ruin their careers and get them black balled and even cause harm to them and their families?

That is an entirely separate issue. If you don't believe me, go to youtube

Utube? lol...

Ya tell me this is an entirely separate issue, then you refer me to U-tube to watch entirely different events and separate incidents.

Ya see something wrong with your logic here?

Hey, if you want me to condemn the president for his comments, I'll do it anytime. He racialized an issue that (in this case) had nothing to do with race. It was an non-racial issue of police abuse, pure and simple. I don't care it if is "protocol."

I was making the point that police arrest blacks and whites for doing this all the time but that doesn't make it right. Now....that I have answered your question directly: do you think it is legitimate to arrest or tase people for the simple act or arguing with police? That is why I referred you to youtube which shows numerous such cases (which have often been condmened here in the past!)
