Its sad two cops can't subdue him. I watched most of the video. From what I saw he disobeyed a lawful order, resisted arrest, and actually made an attempt to kick the officer (battery) 2 possibly 3 times? The use of force appeared to be necessary and lawful up until he was against the wall then it appeared to be unlawful use of force. If the suspect was actively trying to grab or pull the Officer then game on but while he was sitting and verbal not complying I personally would not advise striking him with the baton?
