I guess without a clip of the cop saying it though, this is just the ramblings of an irritated citizen.

Without at least a name and badge number it surely is. You're aware you can ask for this information and they're required by law to provide it, correct?

I know my rights.  I don't have any intention of fighting the police or reporting the incident though.  I know they have more important things they should be doing and I know it would only draw negative attention to me.  I'm simply sad at the state of the government and police in my country.  
Translation:

"I know my rights, but I'm too afraid of government retribution to exercise them."

No judgement here friend, it's not at all unwise to fear the police these days. But what use are rights if we're all too cowardly to make use of them? Do we even truly have them at that point?
