Nobody got hurt.
An attempted assault on an officer was made and yet the officers expressed concern for the safety and well being of the citizen after the incident.
That is normal operating procedure.
What we see and hear about over and over again in the United States is nothing less than thuggery by our police.
If you are a police officer and resort to violence as a routine part of your process, then you need to find another line of work.
That video should be required viewing by all of our law enforcement personnel in the United States on their first day of training.
If they do not sign off on agreeing with that procedure, they should be shown the door right then and there.
I used to make eye contact acknowledgment with police officers on my casual encounters with them in the past but not any more.
I am ashamed of the way they treat my fellow citizens.
