VIDEO: Did this Texas cop go too far?

This video is making it's rounds across the Internet and is causing quite a storm. It's of a Denton, TX police officer who allegedly let himself into an apartment where a party was happening without knocking or presenting a warrant.

Here is what the person who supposedly took the video wrote on YouTube:
So we were all at a party, having a good time, and this cop just busts in! He didn't announce himself, he didn't knock, he didn't present a warrant, and he didn't state what he was looking for. Then he called me a dickhead and threw my id on the ground.

I didn't get that part on camera, but i did get him ranting about how he hates having his authority questioned. Sorry, it's not great, but it's all I got.

So what do you think? Does the officer have the right? Were the party goers going too far? And what do you think about how the officer treated the guests? I know there are police officer's and Denton residents who read this blog, care to comment?

[Thanks Murdock!]
