>“We’re using a locker that actually has a combination on it, and if you don’t know the combination, then you can’t get inside. Unless you take a sledgehammer to the locker, there’s no way we get to the files.” ~Jonathan Zdziarski, a security researcher who has taught forensics courses to law enforcement agencies on collecting data from iPhones,

These people literally think on the level of schoolyard bullies.

Are you referring to Apple who is locking investigators out of phones, or Investigators for trying to track down evidence of crimes?

"These people literally think on the level of schoolyard bullies." - That statement could go either way.

It sounds like he/she is referring the the investigators who are saying that the only way to unlock the phones is to beat the hell out of the person who knows the password.

He said beat the hell out of the locker, not the person. In this case I'd interpret his analogy to be a reference to brute force decryption.

yes.
