There are 3 different levels of street confrontations and this seems to fit none of them as the officer appears to be without protection of body armor or face plate. So, anything thrown in his/her direction would be cause for disarming the person.

Obviously, the video was cropped for effect-so in any attempt to analyze the provocation- the entire video would be non grata for the simple fact it cut out what appears to be the young woman throwing a bottle.
In an interdepartmental provocation examination eye witness statement would take prescient over the video unless the entire screen can be shown.

The reaction of the onlookers seem to prove the point of provocation.
The case would rest on eyewitness testimony and the FBI's photo enhancement/video matting department could possibly produce a better view and if it is determined that the video was deliberate in the crop-as to frame the officer-then a perjury charge would be forthcoming.
In other words the video is useless.

That was totally horriffic. It's too bad the cameraman is inept though. Why people think it's ok to take widescreen video with the camera sideways is completely beyond me. Who cares what the tops of the trees look like?
