As with many of these cases, I refuse to make any judgements until I have the "full" story.
Police overreaction does happen
Defense lawyer sensationalizing nothing does happen
The video looks bad but without any other information, all I can say is that the video looks bad.
Both the Police and the suspect are considered innocent until an examination of all the data.
I would agree with the lawyer who said that publishing this video will hurt the officer getting a fair trial. This may be one of those cases where the public has a right to know after the investigation, not before.
