After the Big Punch he ended up grappling for quite a while with that gal in the black shirt. If he'd hauled off and punched her also, instead of doing all that wrestling, would you say he'd gone overboard?

How are you missing this? He didn't punch the one who he was trying to arrest. He punched the one who tried to intervene and appeared to reach for his belt (on purpose or not, that doesn't matter). If a cop feels someone reaching for his gun, what is he supposed to do?
And to your second part, he didn't have to punch the girl he was arresting because she wasn't causing him any immediate danger.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
