I realize Miami is different than the rest of Florida, but they're usually pretty good down there with that sort of stuff. I believe that Florida is a castle doctrine/stand your ground state to boot (as they all should be).
What we really need is to make it lawful to resist false arrest/detention. That way, if you're in the right, treat them like any other thug that's trying to accost you... Put em down. ahhh liberty... I'm not sure I ever truly had it, but it was a nice dream.

Like I said, excessive force was used but they weren't all wrong.
Guy walking down the street.
Bulge where his waist is, where weapons are commonly carried
He runs away from the police
He resists arrest
From the perspective of the police, that's a pretty good sign of someone with a weapon.
Not agreeing with the police, just saying that they weren't out to get him. =/
