Actually, I found it more painful to watch than funny. And I also fault the maker of the video for creating a confrontation and escalating it to the point that police assistance was required — which the video author didn't think through very well. That was stupid on multiple levels. What if the police were unable to respond, and matters became truly violent? Their call pulled two squad cars that might have been needed or more useful elsewhere. At minimum, their being called to the scene meant that they weren't enforcing the law and discouraging crime elsewhere. And for what?
The confrontation was already present, he was making threats like these on a regular basis. The video was a means to defend himself through the justice system. I'm not entirely sure what you'd recommend as an alternative.
