She was resisting like a fucking idiot. What should these police officers do?

They had nearly infinite non-violent options. They chose the violent one.

Name one

The officer already had the woman pinned to the ground before he punched her in the head. That is "one". She was wearing a bathing suit and clearly not in possession of a weapon. There was no need to punch her in the head.

If he was incapable of de-escalating without punching her in the head he doesn't deserve the public's trust and thus his job.
-
Have you been confronted by police officers?
-
I have a friend who is a police officer. He deals with difficult situations all the time without punching people in the head. He is competent. You are defending unprofessional conduct because the man is a police officer.
-
Police operate with the public's trust because their conduct merits trust. If they act in an untrustworthy way they lose that trust. Just wearing a badge does not confer either real authority or trust.
