So, justified or just a bully? Threatening to make things difficult if you don't answer questions? Just a bully. When a police officer says that he's going to make things difficult on you if you don't answer questions, he's violating your civil rights. When a police officer threatens to arrest you for invoking your right to remain silent, which you have under the fifth amendment of the Constitution, you should say, "I don't answer questions without a lawyer. He's just a bully." Hard stop.
