Seriously, unless the cop was going to arrest him, there was no need to stop him from leaving in the first place. It doesn't take a whole lot of detective work to find a 458 Italia.

...Poor car got scratches

If he had no registration then he was breaking the law and was issuing the guy a ticket. Dude wanted to be a douche and aggravated the cop, the cop put himself in the way of the car as any normal person would know not to travel further, he persisted and used the vehicle to assault the cop, guy deserved what he got 100% hope he gets nailed in court.

that's what I'm sayn, but your can't jump in front of a car and call it assault. If stick my foot out in traffic, it's my fault if it gets run over. There has to be intent and it doesn't look like he intentionally wanted to run his foot over. Other sources are even saying the cop was faking the foot injury.

all bias aside, If a cop was standing so close to my car I wouldn't even think about moving, anyone defending the driver needs to realize this and stop

No one is defending the drivers action, but I'm not defending the cop's actions either.

What did you think the cop did wrong? The only thing I could think of, my brother who was a cop said they cannot put themselves in danger such as standing in front of the car who the driver is attempted to drive off. Or jump through the window and trying to stop the driver who is trying to drive off. Or in this case, put his food in front of the car. Other then that the action taken by the cop to the driver was by rule. That guy deserve any charges that will file against him.

I'm absolutely not saying the officer did anything wrong, I just think he could have made better decisions by just letting the guy go instead of hurting his foot and hand in the process....not to mention the insane amount of paper work afterward. It could have been worst. It's exactly what you said. What if this guy went nuts and really wanted to run the him over. You''ll never see a cop do that if the suspect was dressed like a bum and driving some old beater of a car.
