There seem to be differences in witness accounts, but the key seems to be that the kid didn't take his cap off during the national anthem at a rodeo. Some witnesses said nothing happened while others claim he said something back. However, there doesn't appear to be any question that he picked up the kid and slammed his head to the ground. He suffered a concussion, blood started coming out of his ears (wouldn't stop for 6 hours), and it looks like it's likely a fractured skull.

Now I guess that one can have different opinions on the propriety of keeping a cap on or talking back. I personally don't think enough to try to "correct" anyone over something as minor as this, but certainly throwing someone to the ground would seem like it's out of proportion to the act. And to boot the suspect is currently on probation for a violent crime.
