A big part of the gangster life style is a complete disregard for authority figures.
So usually talking to these kids doesn't work, even incarceration doesn't work because jail time to a lot of these members is a right of passage.
Sometimes public shaming like this can be effective.
It wasn't a vicious beating or an abusive beating by any stretch.
If it was he would have bare skinned him, or actually not hit him on the hip.

Even if such a strict punishment was deserved, which I will concede because it isn't important to my point, it pretty clearly crossed the line between a disciplinary 'spanking' and a frustration or anger fueled 'spanking'.
When you are hitting your kids out of anger, justified or not, that becomes a beating. I think that encouraging parents to hit their kids out of anger is a bad idea.
