Suspicious because it doesn't show anything prior to the kicking. Why is that? Camera man late to it or was it immaterial or was it relevant?

As far as resisting, resisting arrest means exactly that; sitting down not moving after you're being told you're under arrest I imagine qualifies (not sure); I doubt it only means you are actively physically fighting with a cop. Again I will say it absolutely appears on its face that the cop lost his shit and if the video is a fair approximation of that then the cop should at the least be fired if not charged. But that won't happen not should it without checking first to see what else--if anything--is relevant to this.

What would be relevent to kicking someone in the chest and head 4-5 times? I'd really like to hear this explaantion at defending the cops behavoir.

Like I said above, it doesn't matter. Even if he did resist or run away, he clearly stopped and sat down, and wasn't doing anything threatening.

So again, what possible legal reason would a cop have for kicking him 4-5 times while he was unarmed and sitting down not moving.

And again, why did the cop lie on the report saying he was resisting arrest when he had to kick him.

Where does this "once someone resists, cops get 5 minutes to beat the shit out of you no matter what" concept come from?
