Come to think of it, I have NEVER seen a video like this, of one cop actually stopping another one from brutalizing someone. Regardless of whatever else was going on there, I defy anyone to find another video like this. I've seen plenty of videos of cops standing by doing nothing while other ones beat people, taze them, or even shoot them.

In the end, does not what you are saying break down to "I" think his noise level for that amount of pain is too high.
I find it strange you have nothing to say about the policeman using too much force but instead criticize the victim for not being as macho as you believe he should have been.
I can understand it as I see a great deal of it produced not only from the pain but from the knowledge you are absolutely helpless to prevent this from going on for hours and becoming much worse. I think it's called panic and I think it's justified. If it's a cop whose going to torture you who can you expect help from? Panic? I wonder why
I'm sorry he didn't meet your standards for manliness.

Seems a few agree with you. Is it over the top? I think not. I'm sure the circumstances would have been quite different if he utilized his rights and was allowed to carry a fire arm. I'm sure the approach would have been different.
The officer, or any for that matter is a bit over the top also too when facing 98% of the criminals who do not have fire arms.
Maybe, just maybe if other US citizens were as outspoken we would be seeing what is playing out in Greece also in the US.

The officer who was trying to control the situation wouldn't just jump in and start pushing another officer around if there was no foul play going on. We are only shown part of this video, so it's hard to judge how it began.
The guy getting arrested may seem to be a 'whiny bitch' according to some, but I doubt he'd respond that way if he wasn't being met with excessive force. It's pretty safe to say he was mentally handicap and/or on a substance at the time, given that he's a pretty big guy. He wasn't being violent, nor was he trying to run away. All he was doing is asking for help, and probably for good reason. Fortunately, for this guy, there was an officer here who took hold of the situation, probably a backup unit. Notice how the guy wasn't crying anymore once he took control in a non-forceful manner and tried to calm the man down - he even patted him on his back at 1:29.
Also, consider the fact that someone in the public decided to begin recording the incident. People don't just pull out a camera if there isn't anything unusual happening. Plus, getting your phone out and into camera mode would take about 10-20 seconds, possibly more, and it's likely this guy was watching for a bit before he even decided to begin recording.
