Obviously the jury agrees with you. When I watched the video I took into account the amount of adrenaline  that would have been flowing through me if I were the officer and believed he did not necessarily want to kick the rider so hard. Had he wrestled the man to the ground and broken a rib would you feel the same? 
Either way the state should have settled this long before it went to trial - a trial lawyer once told me that big firms settle with big firms but fight with small firms - as the state did in this case - making it prohibitively expensive to risk losing for a small firm.
