Nope, legally he did nothing wrong. I think he could have handled the situation a little differently. I think she could have, too. She was being a pain in the rear for no reason. Just get your drivers license out and give it to the cop. I don't know what his rush was. Sure she refused, but there is no hurry to take the next step and arrest her. Slow down and try a new angle of trying to get her to cooperate. If then she doesn't show her license, then proceed to the next step.
This type of stuff is not a common occurrence. There will always be a few jerks in any group, but that doesn't make every cop a bad guy or even the majority of them. I don't even think it is a large minority of police officers that act like jerks. I've never had a bad run in with law enforcement.
