Use of force is all about proportion and necessity and neither of those criteria were fulfilled in this incident from what I could see.
You better think twice about being a cop, then. They routinely have to deal with the scum of society. Why do you think they get such violent attitudes? After a few years of arguing with junkies, punks, and drunks, you get pretty fed up. Wait till you "easily (and less painfully) physically subdue" some wiseass and he gets an elbow loose and knocks some of your teeth out. You're not getting paid to be nice. People should show some respect to the law and its enforcers. Or they could get tasered
