Video of the lead up is certainly crucial, but based on what we have the attempt to say that this was justified (other than the punches) under that protocol diagram was total garbage. You don't get to work through it backwards to justify your actions.
I agree fully, but based on what we see in the video we don't know what happened before. I guess it really boils down to, do you automatically trust what this guy says or would you like more evidence.

Either way, I think we all agree the punches were inappropriate.
