Imagine you're an 18 year old kid who just caught with his pants down. I am sure you would be telling the a--hole anything to avoid being written up at best. And the a--hole in the uniform knows this and is getting his jollies by using the uniform to intimidate and get you to volunteer stuff out of fear. If you think that doesn't happen every minute across this country you probably also think there are great deals on beach front property in Nebraska.
Pants down on public property? Criminal violation, albeit minor, if you fail to cooperate, you will likely get your ride to the station and a summons and release. Yes, that will go on your record, so don't pull your pants down in public.
On private property? Depends on what the relationship of the property owner is with local LE. Perhaps the local business has expressed permission and a desire that local LE monitor and protect the property from illegal usage, such as teenagers getting a quickie. See above.
Most cops do not have time to run around and get their jollies by intimidating teenagers. Some cops thrive on intimidating citizens. We call those "bad cops" and you should report their behavior to their superiors, elected officials and the news media.
I'm still not able to determine what was the relationship with the cop to the business owner who fired your friend. If they bowl together on the same league and the incident came up during a game, your friend is pretty much out of luck. If the business owner lived two jurisdictions away and the cop went out of his way to pass along the information, and your friend can prove all of that, he might get some attention to the matter.
Was the job really worth it to your friend? It sounds like your friend doesn't really respect his employer (and maybe he has a right to disrespect the employer). As it was pointed out above, the business owner didn't really need a reason to fire your friend. Is it possible there was another, unstated, reason your friend could have been fired?

Sign your ticket, tell the police officer to have a nice evening. If you think he was "intimidating" you, file a formal complaint and fight the ticket in court. Arguing with a police officer is quite pointless, similar to arguing with a lib-tard, won't achieve anything except get yourself in a deeper hole.
