You like to use abstract phrases and gloss over distinctions. "Forced compliance," you say.

But "forced compliance" can mean so many things. It might be accomplished with a piece of paper: "You won't surrender your phone? Here's your suspension notice. Come back with a parent in three days."

Or it might be accomplished with a bullwhip.

Both are 'forced compliance,' so both must be equally OK.

No?

If you get the 'no,' you perhaps can get why some are a tad upset by the resort to violence by the police in this case.
She had her chance with suspension prior to police involvement.

You subdue her so that a metaphorical bullwhip isn't required.

Sum? It was for her own safety.
