You didn't answer my question. You avoided it.
If that's how you want to see it, fine.
If you have a truly abusive, noncompliant subject, there are LOTS of techniques to use that don't involve 'beating the tar' out of the subject. For instance, you can gooseneck his hand, prone him out on the ground, and then you can easily cuff him and drag him out, if need be. A baton strike to the thigh will drop most people. Sometimes, drawing your firearm will result in noncompliant suspects becoming compliant. Therea are MANY techniques, probably as many as there are officers.
My point was that this entire event could, and should, have been avoided.
