What the officer did is completely justified. The girl in the pink shirt assaulted him and he reacted with appropriate force, per the training matrix. It would seem he properly remembered that part of his police training. He needs to spend a few weeks of remedial training on the mats in DT, though; he should have had no trouble putting girl #1 in cuffs in the first place.

As for shooting or even unholstering his pistol -- there was no point in that video where the matrix escalated to the point of using deadly force.
