As far as the excessive force goes it doesn't seem like that little push did any damage and injured the man. However the whole idea of just being able to walk up and frisk anybody without reason is ridiculous. That seems like a no brainer for the courts to decide that violated the constitutional rights, I'm only a Justice minor and I think most people would agree with that. I think as displayed in the visdeo the officer seems to be a bit of a power trip. I've seen it happen in many cases, regular working environments, the military, and I've even seen it at retail stores. The problem is more extreme when you are a person that is supposed to enforce the law and if that is abused it may be a while before someone has proof enough to get an officer fired for things like this. I highly doubt this was the first time that officer has done something like this, he has definitely done this on many other occasions and probably only regrets that he got caught.
