I think that officer did the best he could in that situation, my only question is what prompted him to feel the need to subdue her which will come out in the due process of the law.
As for the filming, the guy operating the camera in the instance being discussed is a tool looking for a fight.
I'm a big proponent of filming public officers fulfilling their duty to me as a citizen.

I agree !!
Police administrations sell in dash and on officer cameras as tools to protect officers from unjustified improper policing complaints -
HOWEVER - the puny brain police administrator politicians (above the rank of S/Sgt) use them for petty discipline charges against those that are not "on the bus" (their minions who support them for further mutual masturbation promotions and eliminate the competition who won't suk their d!ks). Many North American Police associations (unions) have twigged and fight this move.
If it wasn't for the idiot admin assoles it would work to keep cops honest.
As far as Law enforcement quality in the U.S. - low wages keep the intelligent from the profession.
In Canada university degrees were pretty much standard to aquire a job (as well as being a one legged aboriginal negro lesbian (You call it affirmative action in AmeriKa).
That backfired because the candidates were quite capable of communicating at the level of professor, lawyer, judge - but not of dog shit on the streets. They failed big time because theorital thinking couldn't reason out dog shit, so now the preferred candidates are older men with professional and life experience.
The U.S. still prefers military men - Unfortunately due to no federal hiring guidelines every local jurisdiction sets local hiring standards (based on the local no mind get it cheaper get re-elected politicians) and subsequent low (cheaper) training standards. More and more money is now spent on how to use force! (post terrorism justification, patriot act etc.).
Yes - I don't have a high opinion of current law enforcement officers.
If you doubt me and others - look at the Swiss, German, Israeli etc. etc law enforcement officers, administration, structure, effectiveness etc.etc.
Law enforcement is a NOBLE profession and I admire all the idiots who aspire to it - they are young inexperienced idiots - rookies with a Wyatt Earp complex quickly disillusioned whe they find out whats really going on . STICK IT OUT - DEFEAT THE POLITICIONS - STAY A PATROLEMAN FOR LIFE - BE AN HONOURABLE COP !
Occasionally someone rises to the top with HONOUR.
CERBERUS - Keeps those in HELL who belong there.
BUT MORE IMPORTANT - keeps those who don't belong OUT !
Kudos to those few heros.
