If he wanted to get her right arm back, he could have done it. Instead he brought her left arm up to her shoulder, which I can attest to being quite painful. She continues to resist, though in a passive manner which is no danger to the police officer. He becomes frustrated and forces her head into the police car's hood. Probably not necessary, but not quite brutality yet.
Then he hits her in the face. It's done not to make her docile, not to stop her from being dangerous, but out of his own anger. Then he pepper sprays her, again clearly out of anger.
Was his force excessive? Not until he hit her.
