Look, I don’t like to see anyone getting punched in the mouth. Call me a pacifist. But when you resist arrest you have to take the consequences that those actions bring. But for the fact that she resisted arrest, she brought his actions on herself. I try to have as much respect for police as possible and I teach that to my young sons so that they don't get punched in the mouth or whatever. I may not agree with the arrest but resisting only brings you more drama. The time to argue is in court, not on the street. Who am I to criticize this officer in that specific time and situation? Punching, hog tying, manhandling, tazing, etc. should be what is expected when you try to resist arrest from any police officer. Unfortunately, she messed with the wrong police officer...he obviously went to the Mike Singletary Academy of Law Enforcement. That is the chance you take when you resist arrest.  I vote not excessive.
