Not really sure what else to say, even if he had done something to provoke a response aside from shouting(you can read the multiple articles for details) he wasn't resisting arrest, was stationary and the federal agent broke his hand in two places[1].

I hear a lot about "lawful orders", and never anything about what makes an order lawful or not.
