Imagine hypothetically he was cycling dangerously (the video doesn't prove that either way), It's possible that he was before, and for example another cop had tried to stop him, and had radioed the other cop to stop him.
Now I don't know US law, but wouldn't the cop have the right to stop him, using force if needed? After all they can run a car off the road in a car chase.
Of course we don't know any of the other facts in this case. If he hadn't done anything wrong it's clearly wrong, and it looks like the courts thought so too.
