Second, the kid was eventually trying to get out of the car. Why the need to slam him up against the car and then take him to the ground with force and the help of other officers? I understand the cop being angry, but come on. There's a reason why many people have lost a lot of respect for cops.
Finally, the line in the article that the cop was treated for his injuries and then released, but that he still wasn't back to work. Give me a break. That cop was never injured.

The cop basically moved in the way so that the driver could NOT leave the seen. The driver ran over the cops foot.
All the driver had to do was wait until the ticket was written and then if he wanted to fight it later in could. Yah know? Common sense? If the valet did indeed park the car then he could have gotten a written statement from the hotel or whatever, taken that to the court house and had the ticket absolved.
but whatever, it's more important to flee the scene of a $100.00 ticket then to act responsibly. Oh, and in case you didn't know, he is a pretty big deal is Soho. See, he has a bright, shiney red ferrari to prove he's a pretty big deal. Just in case you didn't know.
