You do not touch a cop, ESPECIALLY while he is making an arrest.
Cops are trained to KEEP the upper hand, and part of that sometimes requires using more force then is being used against them. They are trained this way because they are armed. If they lose control, a suspect may try and grab for the weapon, at which point he would be royally screwed.
He actually did a very good job, he limited the amount of force he was applying to the first lady, who was clearly resisting arrest. He could have slammed her to the pavement. He then only used a single punch on the second girl, rather then pepper spray or stepping back and drawing his firearm.
and if you watch it again, a young black male, may or may not have been with them, had FAR more common sense then those two. He tried to pull her away, not very well, but he was atleast trying to get her not to.
