I just don't think she hit him that hard. Hell, she missed the slap and came back around with her hand and that's what smacked his face. Geez, put her down and cuff her.
So your answer is it was too difficult for two police officers to restrain a 5-foot tall woman with handcuffs because she was drunk and surrounded by seated people in a crowd, so since it was too difficult they're allowed to just swing wildly hoping that the connect with only her in said crowd?
You understand your justifications for their use of force are the same reasons why they shouldn't have used them? What if this now not restrained and angry escalated women we just got punched in the face,and her boyfriend who might respond to this violence, react violently In This Crowd to these two police officers? Now she's donkey kicking heads because she's trying to get out cuz she just got punched sound so much better.
The problem is your assumption that policing works like TV violence where a single Punch To The Head knock somebody out for an extended period of time and they just give up. That punch to the face likely just made her very angry and temporarily stunned. She could have immediately gone back to flailing after the video cut out and because the officers didn't respond by Descalation and restraint, they've have done nothing to prevent it.
