I heard it reported on the news (ABC, CBS or NBC) that the kid was unconscious. Which would explain why he appeared as dead weight when they picked him up and slammed him onto the car

Firstly this "kid" was not unconcious. If you view the tape you will see the "kid" speaking to or saying something to the MOS after being struck in the face. Secondly, Handcuffs do not stop backward motion, their purpose is to restrain physical attack by an agressor by restraining the ability to use both hands in a coordinated manner. If you have even been handcuffed you would realize that you would be able to reach backwards for a significant distance while cuffed. From the video it appears that the brother struck the perp for no reason, however appearances can be decieving. I have been grabbed by perps from time to time and depending on what they are holding onto, one is trained to step into the perp to get them to release.
