From what I could see, the officer asked the journalist and others to move on or back away. The journalist, still a good distance from the fracas, flashed his credentials. The cop then when ape-shit on him. Not justified.

IF they have the footage they should show it. I didn't get the impression they had it. Rather, they came on the scene and started rolling.
As I said, it would be better if they had the footage. However, it doesn't change the fact that what we see is what happened. There is little that is subjective about the actual footage we've seen (ie no voice over, editing, lighting, etc. giving additional context or information).
The only way this could get more "objective" would be to have better audio.
