Would we look at this differently if we knew if he was sexually assaulting a minor and ran from the scene and resisted numerous prior attempts to stop fleeing from the other police officer?
We've seen murderers peacefully arrested without being violently struck by police.

As to this case:
"A jury acquitted a police officer Tuesday of assault after he kicked a suspect in the head, breaking his jaw."
"Defense attorney James Liguori told jurors Friday in his closing argument that Webster had only seconds to act after Dickerson, who ran from another officer responding to a fight involving a large group of people, repeatedly ignored commands by Webster and another officer, Christopher Hermance, to get on the ground."
So this was all about a fight and not quickly listening to police.
And in the video, we saw he did not pose an imminent threat when the officer viciously kicked him in the head while he was proceeding to lie down for them.
"Dickerson, who has a criminal history and is awaiting trial on unrelated charges involving stolen guns, was charged with resisting arrest after fleeing from the officer at the fight scene. That charge was later dropped."
The victim of the brutality did have a criminal record but the cop was not aware of that at the time and you don't go breaking jaws for that.
There are courts that are supposed to handle punishment.
