I don't know the background on this video at all, for all I know it could be fake.
However it seems to be legit, and shows what happens sometimes when a Police Officer decides the rights of another person are not important.
AGAIN: I want to make it clear I have NO IDEA the background on the video, and there could be a legitimate reason the officer needed to "take down" the camera man... he could have been threatening, could be brandishing a weapon, I just simply don't know.

EDIT: After watching it again, it seems that the camera man is merely filming what's going on, and the officer asks him for his name, to which the cameraman does the same. Regardless, the officer seems to be in no harm, and does not ask the cameraman to do anything or warns him before attacking him.
