That girl was piss ass drunk and her weak slap must not have had a huge impact, when the cop hit her she got knocked out dude... Wtf are you saying?
It is categorically NOT excessive by any and every definition and interpretation of that word.
What would have been more excessive in this scenario, straight up blowing off her brains? I guess everything below that would have been ok with you... Wtf is wrong with people, straight up enjoying their violent justice boners...
Police around the globe are warranted and instructed to use one level of force above that of their opposition.
Even if a cop is entitled to use more force than needed, does not make it appropriate in every situation, she wasn't any real threat... She looks like a dumbass drunk adult teen... She had no guns or weapons...
Edit : I watched it a few more times and another reason for why she slapped the dude could be because she felt he touched her inappropriately by lifting her from the exposed area ( which I'm not even saying that, it was inappropriate, jus that she may have been too drunk to understand that, that was the best way to carry her out ). Still knocking her out was excessive.
It's obstruction. If he didn't do anything she would have just kept going. You have to neutralize the threat. Given they should have cuffed her at the time but their job is to get them out asap, cuff em when you're not surrounded by hundreds of people because you don't know who is in that crowd or what they're gonna do (if they choose to help her)
Yeah it may have been a little excessive but like you said, he could have blown her brains out instead.

That seems reasonable because I was wondering why they didn't cuff her in the first place. Shit though, I think I heard the smack through the gif...XD I hope she's ok though. You're drunk and you do stupid things...no need to wish any harm on her...was my point
Edit :
he could have blown her brains out instead.
This was just in reference to the guy (not you toki) whom I was originally replying to that seemed to have no clear definition of excessive force other than that, even as I read his replies now, I see his violent justice boner hasn't yet been sated and still feels that it would have been ok to "body slam" her for that. Never seen someone wishing harm on a random drunk person they saw in a gif.
