Point is, what you "feel" is proper punishment, may or may not fit withing the statutory requirements; or it may be strategically wiser to charge him with DC and ensure a conviction rather than charge him with a higher level criminal act only to have it dropped later on because it falls short of what needs to be proven...
You can make your feelings known to the prosecuting attorney, provide them with the evidence (video tape) that you have and let them do the job they get paid to do!
