Yes, the officer had to act like Johnny Badass, and no way was this barefoot woman in her pajamas going to defy his “ORDERS.”
He couldn’t face the truth, and was humiliated in public. So to save face, instead of admitting the woman was right, he lashed out.
He reminds me a lot of SoldierDad.
For police, it should be part of training that they are taught to never give an order which they know they cannot legitimately arrest a person for disobeying. Real simple: "Is what I'm about to order something I have authority to enforce with arrest?" If the answer is NO, then the officer should keep his mouth shut.
