Pretty simple to not resist arrest. You do realize if she had just stood up and let them put the cuffs on no one would need to take her down. She got herself in that situation.

many RCMP are brutes and will be violent whether or not you resist. I had a member throw me to the ground on a tile floor and kneel on my back while handcuffing me when I had committed no crime. He did this to me for taking photos of him in public while he was talking to a man who had just assaulted my partner, something which his staff sergeant later admitted to me that I had every right to do. Of course there was no consequences for the member. They’re free to assault the public without consequence.

If that happened the officer was wrong to do that. These officers were not wrong, and taking physical control of someone without incapacitating them is not as easy as it looks on TV.
