I saw the tape, and I am torn also.
The man attacked the cops first. He was HUGE. They had to subdue him.
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 the police were wrong.
