I watched the video, this my opinion.

The cop did what cops are expected to do, they wrestle with bad guys. That never turns out well. Every time I attempted to handcuff anyone I was arresting, drunk or not and they resisted, I escalated force. I am not dancing, I am not playing by the same rules they are, if that means that I pound on their kidneys for a while than so be it. I am going home at the end of my shift.
