Im going to respectfully disagree, though my evidence is anectodal.
When I was involved with law enforcement, I was into wrestling, power lifting and weighed in at about 250 lbs. Ive put handcuffs on more than a few people. If somone doesnt want to comply, its incredibly difficult to get them in bracelets by yourself without hurting them. Even with a cops world class, super secret, advanced ninja training.
Joint manipulations and pain compliance techniques work most of the time but can be dangerous when applied to drunks, tweakers and people who are just batshit crazy. Ive seen people try to buck a cop and ended up breaking their own arms, shoulders, wrists, etc. IMHO the cop in this video knew of the dangers of joint manipulations and was doing his best to try to avoid hurting the young girl.
As for the punch...It seemed to be reactionary to me. She bit him (a great way to inflict physical damage AND transmit disease) and he popped her. By biting him, she had taken the altercation to the next level.
