Perhaps you should watch the video before forming an opinion. The kid is clearly under control, mouths off at the officer, and gets a stiff jab to the face for it. If the kid were not in control, or made some movement of violence towards the officer, then force would be OK. When the kid is pressed against the hood of a car, cuffed, and surrounded by several cops, he's probably not enough of a threat to warrant force at that point. IMO it's unnecessary force, but probably not brutality. Ask yourself this: would the cop have behaved any differently if he had known his actions would be replayed on not only the local news but all over the country and the Internet? Probably so.
BTW, I live in Dekalb Co, GA where our former sherrif was just convicted of contracting the murder of the man who defeated him, as well as numerous other corruption charges.
