I would like to know what the cops were told, and what they were thinking, in the run-up to the violence, but that's more out of curiosity/completionism, than any expectation of mitigating circumstances for their actions on video.
It strikes me as odd that these cops can't arrest an unarmed man without breaking 3 of his teeth and requiring him to get staples and stitches in his head.
Regardless of the justification for the arrest, this is poor work from professional law enforcement.
Edit: The false arrest claim is largely a separate issue from the grotesque overuse of force here.
