I understood it to be that the sidewalk was blocked off because of construction so the pedestrian is on the edge of the road, walking the white line closest the sidewalk. The passerby drives past the guy with no problem, then sees the cop intercept the pedestrian in her rear view. According to the witness, the bit about walking in the middle of the street is the cop blatantly lying.
The pedestrian's a fool for panicking that way, but people have a way of getting killed whether they do or don't cooperate. Somewhere off camera, I suspect, are townies that saw the guy walking and called the cops. Like the time someone called the cops on me: what did they say that brought the cops down so heavily like that? Their responsibility for this is non-zero.
Some day you may find me on some other page you never read before. I will remember you said this when we may disagree, and still be, we, together, on the same page.

Now we're on the same page.
Yea....over reacting to an overacting cop is never a good formula for a peaceful outcome.

Works for me.
