I have had nine years of criminal justice and two semesters of police tactics and arrest procedures. What that one officer did was unethical and illegal.
If the kid fought the officer, fine. The officer can use the force necessary to bring the individual in control. Once under control, there is no need to continue using force. He was cuffed and not a threat at that time. The officer lost his temper and acted unprofessional.
