The tape doesn't show what happens before to get the first guy tossed out, but it sure looks like he is resisting... not fighting, but certainly not going along quietly. Then, his buddy makes the incredibly stupid decision to grab at the cop while his buddy is being dragged away. He grabs at his shoulder, and his hand slides down to near the belt (pepper spray, gun, radio, cuffs, etc.) and pulls at the vest. The cop reacts in, what I'd say, is a reasonable way - putting the guy down as fast as possible in a hostile environment.
Both green dudes should have spent the night in jail, and may face charges as well. Being drunk in public, even if you are at a game, is not really an excuse for being an a-hole.
