I asked a former LEO about this. He didn't see the video but I described it to him. He said the officer shouldn't be on the street and that he's a menace. He said that the poking of the student in his side was unauthorized baton use. He said that the officer shouldn't have let the kid enter the door to the point that tackling or hands on detainment would be required (it's a major safety hazard to let that happen) but he said that multiple strikes once the subject is down is criminal.

Did he say how the officer was supposed to stop the kid since the kid ignored the officers instructions to stop? Did he say what the officer was supposed to do when the kid pushed the officer when the officer tried to keep hi from entering the door.....or did you mention that?
And therein lies the problem of telling someone what happened instead of them seeing the video. You telling him what happened (or anyone else telling him) would be colored by our own perceptions and prejudices. Therefore he cannot address the situation impartially, because his perception of the events are based on how he was told about the events.....and none of us are totally impartial. We all have a predisposed ideas.

Nobody has argued that point. All we argued is that if the kid had done what he was instructed to do, that none of that would have happened.
