The video is fucked up. No reason for any of his actions.

Agreed. If I were the person getting arrested at the end, my final instructions to my kids as I'm getting arrested would have been to close and lock the door behind me. I suspect the one kid pushed the videographer back because he was worried the cop would try to destroy the evidence. Set that video to upload somewhere and hide the cellphone.

At a certain point if someone in the house put a gun to that cops head and told him to get out, they would have been in the right.

I hope he's crucified for this. Cops are going to get way worse if they think they can get away with this shit

Alternative link for those outside the US.

Also worth noting this is the video referred to in the article.
