Same thing. So you do admit the police had the right to detain and identify the man, that's a step forward for you.
No, it isn't and the Supreme Court has said as much. They have no right to request your name and detain you unless your are suspected of committing a crime. What crime did they tell him he committed prior to the altercation?

They had suspicion of a crime, open containers, drunk in public. They had every legal right to detain him and identify him. You also already admitted that the suspect had open containers, which is a crime. The man resisted legal detainment. Wrong again.
