Use of force was warranted since the suspect made multiple attempts to deceive his pursuers by stopping and then speeding away again in a reckless fashion. Even though he had gotten off his bike, the officers had no reason to believe he wasn't about to bolt on foot or draw a weapon. The type of force used does appear excessive though; it seemed to serve little purpose other than for the officer to release some aggression. The department is handling this responsibly and there's no reason for the suspect to receive any monetary compensation for this besides paying for any needed medical treatment.
