It seems pretty clear situation of Lambo guy escalating at a reasonable pace and not going overboard. He progressed from verbal get the fuck away from my car to pushing guy off car to getting more physical as needed. Basically stop, no, ok how about now, no, ok how about now. Once the guy was down Lambo guy didn't stick around pounding his face into the curb as a punishment.
In his video, he mentioned how no one helped him or said anything.

At 24:40 in the video, he talked about how he was stopped by police after the incident. One officer was in his face about how since he's rich he can get away with things. And the officer egged him on and told the lambo owner to try take him on. WTF?

Let's be honest, rich guy in a Lambo is not the most sympathetic person in the world. But watching what happened the poor bastard should get a medal for not killing the kid.

Would be interested to how cops react if some normal dude was driving a 20 year old Volvo and literally everything else played out exactly the same. Would be willing to bet people would be much more sympathetic, but legally speaking the incidents are identical.

WTF likely = said officer assessing the volatility of said Lambo owner, a.k.a. Mr. Elmo Pants. Standard police interrogation training. As long as the officer didn't cross an abusive line -- verbal, physical, or authoritative -- Lambo guy's just sowing the oats of his own disbelief.

Interesting.. didn't think about that. Bad cop/good cop? One cop was egging him on and the other cop was reassuring him it's ok and ignore the other cop.

Waiting for someone to figure out this was all setup and just another way of something or another going viral.
