The cop was probably yelling “Get on the ground!” and “Stop resisting!” the entire time.

The context of this isolated film needs to be understood before leaping to judgment. The officer tried to arrest the woman before she evaded him and crossed over the on/off ramp out onto the freeway shoulder where the officer followed her. It is against California law with big fines to walk on a freeway. She again resisted and he subdued the woman (whether he used excess force is another issue). Then a plains clothes Highway Patrol officer suddenly appears and helps to subdue and arrest the woman. This suggests there was a possible prostitution stakeout of a person soliciting on a freeway ramp. And if you know anything about the world of prostitution the woman could have been a man. So now I have painted a plausible context for interpreting the video.
