They are human like evryone else.
That being said, my observation is that even in the officer's own report, he states that the professor had presented photo ID, yet the officer continued to remain in the house and call for back-up. If the professor was irate and not really happy about the officer being there in the first place, why continue to detain him in his house and call for back-up after he produced his ID?
I know that you believe that the officer was just quiet and deeply respectful as the professor berated him, but I think that they both were probably a bit upset by that point. The one thing that I agree with the President about is that cooler heads should have prevailed.

The report I read had the Prof irate before he would show ID, in fact he didn't seem too willing show ID (He was indigent), however did the cop really say that after he presented ID the cop milled around in the Profs house for a while?
