Clip for context. The guy on the ground hits an officer in the helmet, once, at 0:30. If you think their response was measured and appropriate and followed ROE/EOF, then I feel sorry for the worldview you hold.
No. They overreacted. No may have. No buts. Police agencies must have greater accountability, not less.
I'm not taking side on this but i'd like to understand your point of view.
No one is surprised that people get killed when they poke at a lion.
But the animal that reacted that way is still destroyed, because it is unsafe to exist in proximity to humans.
The lesson from your analogy may not be what you intended.
