Force was clearly excessive. I'm guessing the cop made a mistake and had a kneejerk reaction, maybe based on his training or previous incidents of much larger people resisting arrest.
She was definitely resisting, and the situation might have called for somewhat escalated force (like tighter restraint) but in no way was this body slam the right course of action. I hope the guy at least admits he screwed up and apologizes and maybe takes some disciplinary action on the chin.
