Unless you believe police are above the law there is no justification for his actions.

The cop never detained anyone. He was writing a ticket when the owner of the car decided he could get out of the ticket by driving away. In the process he ran over the officer's foot. I'm not sure what planet your from, but you cannot run over someone's foot, period, ever, and then just drive away as if nothing happened. That's not only assault, it's assault with a deadly weapon. The police officer - Felix Recio - went to the hospital after the incident.
