As far as the video goes, the kid was asked repeatedly to stop kicking staff in the mail room. The staff can be seen defending themselves with what I can only call, pillow shields.
They take great measures not to touch the child, and to back him away from sensitive equipment.
The officer sees this for about 3-4 minutes, and puts the kid in handcuffs until the parents arrive. Note the officer did not arrest the kid, or leave him until that event.
Only thing I could disagree with is the position he had the kids arm in while in handcuffs, but all things considered, the cop took it kind of smoothly. They tried reasoning with the kid multiple times, even after he was in handcuffs.

Yeah, I don’t really see anything wrong with what the cop did. It’s not like the kid was pepper sprayed and tased.
