not sure how they ended up in that position from the start. But from that starting position, he is trying to hand-cuff the guy. And the guy kinda tries to explain "if I give you my right hand, my face is gonna smack into the cement".

Without previous video, there is no way to know if the cop had ever tried to reason with the drunk firefighter. From the start of the video it is already a physical struggle. The guy taping even says "a very agressive stance this cop is taking".

Did he start the fight and then use his gun when he was getting his a$$ kicked? Did there have to be a fight?
