It is also unclear if the 'victim' had prior incidents that showed up as they were running his plates. I'm just profiling here, but someone who appears to be carrying 2-3 phones, and squidding on a bike doesn't exactly seem like your usual law abiding citizen. Perhaps at the point the officers response seemed reasonable at the time. I'm not condoning/condemning it, But I'm staying away from kneejerk reactions base on a video, with one view, and no audio.
Even as a audience to the spectacle, you have to remain objective and retain a broad perspective lest you have an ill informed mob mentality.
As far as I'm concerned it will just put the rest of us under the microscope aswell, certainly not the attention or scrutiny we need at the moment.
