Look I agree he shouldn't resist arrest. 110% but don't be ignorant and ignore a poorly trained officer. Would you feel the same way if it was any other race? Or would you be bashing the officer for doing piss poorly at her job? Be honest. He was an idiot but so was she.
I'm not an expert on police procedure, but it looks like the officer restraining didn't make any significant mistakes. He did a quick search of the belt area, tried to put on the cuffs at :35, but the suspect seems to resist as soon as the cuffs touch him. The officer tells the suspect "don't" and tries to continue cuffing when the suspect breaks free.
The only thing the officer could have done different was use more physical force to restrain the suspect. Unfortunately, the suspect was initially cooperating so that would have been excessive force if the officer had done so.
Blaming this on the officer performing the arrest is like blaming a store clerk for not doing enough to stop a shoplifter.
He should have moved him away from the open car door before doing the search and cuffing. If you watch traffic stop videos, you will often see the officer move the subject to the rear of their vehicle, which is a much better tactic.

Dont forget the cop who failed to initially cuff and control the suspect. Large part of the blame is on him too.
