pointless cop behavior

What is this "peace officers" problem? He came to the Santa Cruz clock tower just to tear down and throw away a flier someone had posted during a protest/gathering to show solidarity with the South centeral farm in LA. I didn't get the officer engaged in this property distruction on film but I did get this shot. He sarcastically said "Hi" and after I shot told me rather hostily "you know you really should ask..." at which I choose to remain silent (a REALLY good idea when dealing with the po I'm finding). He then commented "You know I have constitutional rights, too!!" (whaa, whaa) I almost replied "I suppose you have more of those as a pawn of the rich than I do as a simple citizen," however it was to early in the protest to get arrested for opening my mouth. As he drove away I did have to get a final shot of him in his car waving (and missing the green light). What a pointless waste of tax payers money.... He tore down a flier and then got in his car and left. I sure am glad no one got arrested by this dope of a cop.
