It's an interesting exchange - esp if you watch closely at 0:53 onwards - the Cop goes to get his notebook (or ticket book - I'm not sure) and then the kid looks like they try to do a runner, Cop tackles them and it looks like they try again to run or fight (can't be certain - angle of the video), Cop Pins them, then tries to arrest them - Kid looks to resist again, Cop gets a little heavy handed.
Is it excessive? Possibly.
But in the interaction, it seems to me that the Kid starts something, the Cop finishes it. The Cop is reacting to the Kids actions.
The other cop backing up his partner doesn't do a lot except when it looks like the other kid is trying to get up to help their friend, at which point the other cop pushes him back down on the floor (probably with a reminder not to interfere).
If the kid hadn't tried to flee, Hadn't resisted (like the other kid didn't) me thinks this wouldn't have happened.

I've seen plenty of US Cop videos where they were equally heavy handed with white suspects who tried to pull a fast one.
It would be nice to hear the Audio, but from what I see - the cops are only reacting to actions made by the suspect - whether they are over-reacting is debatable (it does look a bit heavy handed) - but I fall on the side of:
Don't want to be thrown on the ground and tasered? then don't try to run and resist arrest!
