Who said perfect?  I'd like them to be better, sure.  I've told you,more than once, I do expect officers held to a higher standard than the average Joe on the street.  They are trained and, as has been stated, your best bet is just do what they say and keep your mouth shut when dealing with them. (Not something I disagree with as a practical matter...but do not like as a personal matter.)

Yet I understand what you can do after.  Totally get it.  I just seem to not like it more than most.

Maybe if these people put down their phones and had a chat at a normal volume this could have been avoided.  Instead everyone wants to record everything and post it on social media.

No, I'd say video recording them is the one of the better things you can do.  Being respectful is always a good idea in almost all situations.
