Can someone be arrested for not being ‘nice’ to police?

We came out of a night club and there was a police car with dogs barking at the back of it. For some reason this fascinated my friend and he stood behind the police car laughing and watching the dogs bark. Few seconds later an officer came through and I believe he thought he is the one who was provoking the dogs, but as far as i remember the dogs had been barking for at least half an hour as we were had been standing outside for a while, because there was already some unrelated incident which is why the cops where there. The police first words were ‘Hey fuck off’. My friend said why u talking to me like that and the policeman got offended and a bit aggressive then all of a sudden he was in handcuffs with at least 10 cops around him. The whole time he wasnt fighting back, just asking what he did wrong. I explained what happened to a few of them and finally they let him go with a move on notice but they also told him he will be appearing in court. Seems weird and an abuse of power to me. Could they win such a case??
