I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.
Sure, a person in custody shouldn't resist and the police have a right to protect themselves and do their job, but I am a believer in the idea that the punishment must fit the crime. If she were trowing punches, kicking and really fighting them then I would have no problem with him doing what he did. It looked to me like she was talking to them and having a disagreement with them and he decided to face plant her.
I think there was likely a better way for this to have been handled.
