He experienced serious injury to his hand. I don't think he should have gotten a beat down for his actions.

Does everyone miss the point here? An American is attacked by unmarked secret police while doing nothing more than his Constitutional right.

Unmarked? Does the police patch across their backs clue you in a bit? Any military member that could not identify those police members, even in that uniform and equipment, should have his eyes checked.
Video does not show or describe the reason for use of force, something happened before the short video started? disbursement? Lawful order refused? After set curfew? He was clearly saying something to them, maybe some verbal threat? Amazing how almost all of the "right wing" protests and practice of peaceful decent NEVER results in police action or violence/riots/looting/deaths because of their actions.

Unmarked as in who are they? Hard to say “Officer Jones beat the hell out of me. His badge number is 12345” if nobody is identifiable.
“Some fed beat me up and another one pepper sprayed me. Who? I don’t know. They’re federal officers...?”

That's a USNA sweatshirt... so please do not mistake this for some overworked and underpaid Blueshirt on libbo getting the smack-down from the "Man". Also, without denigrating Mr. David's service in the least... it was not (and I assume wasn't even back in '88) common practice for graduating USNA midshipmen to be directly commissioned as a civil engineer. Barring a medical release, or some other VERY exceptional circumstance... Academy grads commission into one of the "line" communities; i.e. Aviation, Surface, Submarines, Special Operations, or the Marine Corps. My personal sense of it is that it was in very poor taste for Mr. David to wear the Canoe-U crest during his activism.
