Those were exactly my problems with this: there was no justification for assaulting this person when they were in full compliance, and there was no justification for damaging property: the helmet is completely unusable now after being thrown. Probably the phone as well.
This police officer's shown criminal lack of judgement and probable psychological problems. For the safety of the public he should definitely be terminated, effectively immediately. And to think he's currently armed with a deadly weapon. Jesus.
