Surveillance video.
Long story short: cop is trying to stop multiple subjects, two of whom have already high-stepped it to a vehicle and gotten in. Viral video dude keeps walking with officer following him. Officer tries to grab him, dude spins on him, and they get into a hugging match as the officer appears to be trying to take him to ground and dude doesn't want to go.
My guess: dude had his arm wrapped around the cop and when he pulled it back, his bags got hung up on the officer's gun and that's when the cop decked him. Whether that's accurate or not remains to be seen but either way, hard empty hand control is typically considered a reasonable response to that level of resistance.

I personally find the video disturbing for the sheer fact it looks like a classic shakedown and beating from a 2 on 1 situation. Without comment of color the discussion should be why two officers larger than youth are not trained to submit a smaller opponent...particularly one that is already restrained.
Maybe cops need better gear to strap a floppers legs but I personally find the technique pathetic. They need better training...

We have more reason to suspect cops lie vs tell the truth.
Is the internet fast for you in NK?

Drop dead correct there's something wrong with the police and particularly the white cops and their police chiefs and supervisors!
The solution to this problem is as simple as it gets. White cop sees black person breaking the law? White cop calls it in and leaves the scene or surveils from afar until the police department dispatches black cops to handle the situation!
But no, the stupid white cops keep interacting with the blacks and damned near every time it turns out bad! And a big part of the problem is simply that the white cops show up! If I were a sturdy black youth and saw the opportunity to provoke a white cop you can be damn sure I'd do it.........FOR THE MONEY! For the lawsuit!
But have US Police authorities figured this out? No and why?
THEY'RE STUPID!

Great OP! Yep the agenda of MSM is to create division among races and to perpetuate rage and victim hood in the black community, while instilling hate against the white race.
I'm pretty sure anyone these days that wants to defy a couple of cops, either verbally or physically and refuses to be subdued is probably going to take a clobbering of some sort.
The only way this would be a decent story, would be if the "victim" was attempting to cooperate and was assaulted.

I don't see that at all.
I see two cops who have almost zero combat sub mission skills unable to restrain a kid holding shopping bags. Most likely because they can't control the adrenaline dump the just got and can't think strait.
Shooting the perp while his partner is holding him would be quite possibly the worst decision. Particularly seeing how they were handling the adrenaline.

You have a first amendment right to say whatever you want to them lest threatening them.
I'm glad they turned the internet on for you in NK.

Personally no I make it point to let things roll off. I work out hard, still train in bjj and judo, hike, fish, hunt, spend time with my family. I don't let little things stay with me.
If a cop is following around vendetta, they probably are not doing there actual job. Are they going to miss an actual crime because they are following around vendetta?
Thin skinned people shouldn't be cops. Cops shouldn't use their power to target people who hurt their feelings.
If you happen on a jerk that is always a jerk sure you don't give him the warning.
I haven't had a ticket for decades. I am nice to cops until they are rude or doing something shady.
