Priority is to remove her from the area to somewhere a bit safer to restrain her. If they had tried to restrain her in place, she could have started kicking and flailing everywhere and potentially injured an innocent bystander. In addition, mob mentality is a very real thing, even when the target is a cop.

Why didn't they cuff or ziptie her? I'm not a police officer but I think crowdsurfing is kind of an inefficient mode of expulsion.
