Other side: cop was having a bad day. Felt the cyclist was being lippy when he was trying to co-operate. The victim pulled his arm away due to over zealous cop bending it in a way the shoulder is not supposed to move. The cop freaked out and assaulted the victim. Once the officer realized he was on camera, he tried to come across as professional and asked videography to pleas remain on the sidewalk.
This is also speculation as I was not at the scene.

If that cop is going to punch someone in the face every time someone gets lippy or he's having a bad day he should really find a different line of work.
