There are other ways to get him out of the vehicle (vehicle extraction method) taught by all law enforcement so they should have done that.... first.
Remember that the cops will always up the Ante. They never fight "fair" and nore should they. They will always put the odds in their favour. The cop wasn't a big guy, and the driver was a little bit bigger than him. He evened the odds. What surprises me is that after doing so he didn't remove the guy from the car. That is what I find odd. Typically they will blast you and then pull you out of the car.
