[Flames Draft Watcher]

I would think the appropriate reaction is the woman was truly reaching for his gun would be to smack the arm away, or grab the arm. Pushing the woman down after she makes the grab makes no sense to me, especially since they were already walking past her.

Watching the video a few times again my impression is this:

Any well trained cop walking around that area would have noticed her and her obviously disabled walk. The cop walks straight at her, instead of trying to avoid her. He looks like he wants to bowl her over and I'm surprised they didn't make more contact. The cop to the right of the incident also doesn't move particularly far to allow the woman to dodge the cop walking straight at her. The shove afterwards just looks unnecessary and cruel.

Pretty disgusting overall, each time I see it.
