I saw this this am. he obviously was exrememly upset. One officer pushed him to the fence, and was talking to him. He paced around trying to compose himself. they got the guy up and he did the spread eagle etc without a problem.

Yeah. It's difficult to say for sure, but it sure looks like the first officer had things well in hand (suspect prone, hands behind back, maybe even cuffed) when this second officer just ran up and started beating the guy with his flashlight.

Yeah, looks like in this video that the guy stopped and got down on the ground before he was even touched. Hard to tell, though, I've seen suspects on COPS get sqirrley once the cuffs start going on.
