Didn't state there was my friend. In fact, in my quote you quoted I actually condemned what the officer did. I am glad to see you agree with me on that point.
People are wondering why he was stopped and asked for his ID in the first place. And then, of course, released.

That is where the breakdown occurred. The officer had a "how dare he" moment.
Again, we don't have enough background information about what happened in this case yet, and we probably never will, to make a fully informed decision on the matter. We don't know if the guy jerked away from the police when they grabbed him and if he bowed up on them. We don't know if they were looking for an armed robber in the area. We simply don't know any of that information.
Is there a city ordnance prohibiting people from filming vertically on their phones?
There should be.
They should not be taking bait no matter how long it goes on. If you tell someone you're going to beat the fuck out of them and tase them and accuse them of "threatening me with your phone" for recording you, it doesn't matter how much that person was being a dick to you prior to that point. If that's your reaction then you do not have what it takes to be a cop.
Cops put up with bullshit from people day in and day out. They need thick skin and clinical detachment.
Just another example of baiting a cop to make them cross a line. Some people need a hobby.
Not currently. Although, it more accurate to say that neither state is seriously debating this on a large scale. It is/was fringe groups with a lot of noise and little substance.
I think it's fair to say both sides have their detractors in terms of authority. Liberals don't want the state to dictate their morals while conservatives don't want it to dictate their ethics. The difference is that liberals are, by and large, willing to barter away their only tangible protection from out of control authorities, and conservatives are not.
OMG 13:37 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Cleave unto me, and I shall grant to thee the blessing of eternal salvation."
And His disciples said unto Him, "Can we get Kings instead?"
People in California are signing petitions currently.

You realize it takes like, one person to start a petition, right? Sensationalist news. Also, this Evans guy is clearly unhinged.

So the police can illegally stop you, and then arrest you for refusing to comply with their illegal stop?

We know they said he matched the description of a criminal they were looking for. That means one of two things:
1. They made it up that he matched a description.
2. They allowed a criminal suspect to leave without being identified.
Please choose.
