When this guy was being escorted out, I assume he was already being placed under arest. At that point, the discussion is over, there is no explaining left to do. Instead of going peacefully, he turned on the officers. As for the report, I can't speak for what the officer said in his own words. Consider this though, these cameras are not Hollywood quality. More than one person above has mentioned choppiness, leading them to believe the tape may have been edited. More likely, its simply the cameras, and everything on camera may not happen as quickly as real life due to the frame rate. Him turning on the officers could have been more of a quick spin at them. The finger pointing could have happened at a speed where it was mistaken for an attempted punch. I can't say for sure. What I can say, is when this guy was struck, he was still in the officer's face with what appears to be a clinched right fist, raised and ready to throw. Then, once on the ground, it is again obvious that the guy is not knocked out, but in fact moving around, and even visibly pulling away from the officer in an attempt to prevent from being handcuffed. So why did his attorney lie and say his client was knocked out?
