But the beating that followed was just....savage. The force they used seems so excessive. Once the man is on the ground, don't you stop beating him?
He died because of that beating. I understand that he started the confrontation, but they were wrong.

I can't understand how SIX (although that's a very good number
) cops could not detain him. Had the guy just stayed down...I would say flat out that the cops were wrong...but he kept getting up...and he kept getting up!
It's funny because you know the cops knew this was going to be ugly because when the camera in their police cruiser cut off....they turned it back on...I guess they knew how people would perceive this incident...
The fact that this guy died just seems to overshadow whether the cops were just doing their job...or were acting excessive...
