It might very well be that the cop needs to be thrown under the jail, but when will we learn to get the facts first. Hands up, don't shoot, turned out to be a lie made up by a lying witness. Wouldn't it have been better to wait for the facts before destroying a young cop that fought for his life? At least in Baltimore they did a pseudo investigation before taking action.

It is interesting that there are so many people that think they can do an adequate investigation with nothing more than a home made video, with no information about what transpired or what was said. Too bad this massive intelligence is not available to law enforcement. They could save the salary of all those investigators.
One thing that is clear if you watch the entire video.... There were two more cops there that were telling people to take it easy and at one point they even grab the out of control cop and pull him back when he is bound and determined to take down two guys who were looking at him.

I mean.... Just watching something is enough to set the guy off to the point that he is going to deal with your being there?

There is also the fact that at four of the guys there were doing just what he told them to do but they were either not doing it fast enough to suit him or they were doing it too fast to suit him. The look of confusion on their faces tells you that they understood this guy had gone all unprofessional on them and they were trying to do what he told them to do.

So when someone says the only thing necessary to keep a situation under control is to do what the cops tell you to do then is the first thing you should ask is just how fast you are supposed to respond to their commands?

And the fact that the other two cops could be heard muttering to themselves while not doing anything is also telling. If the situation had been such a riot then why were they just standing around?
