How in the world did you come to the conclusion that this is acting professionally? He immediately escalated the situation rather than trying to get some control. There was also a 6 yr old that was not being considered. He should have made sure she was in a safe place before proceeding with the adult. What would have happened if the little girl had run up on his hip with his gun while he was cuffing the mother?

The officer was trying his best to make a lawful but resisted arrest. How was that “escalating the situation?” I sense a growing presumption that people have a right to resist a lawful arrest. And nothing bad happened to the 6-year old, except to find out what a drunk the mother was.
