No it doesn't sound like excessive force to me.
In San Diego, occasionally they will put up a checkpoint on different roads to screen for drunk drivers and they always catch a bunch. No one seems to mind or complain.
In my wild and excessive youth, I came out of Birdie's 19th hole in Allentown drunk as a skunk. For whatever reason there was a cop there and he grabbed me and threw me head first into the side of the car and then threw me into the back of the car. The impact gave me a black eye. People around were jeering about police use of excessive force, Brutality even. But nothing ever came of it. Thats what I would more define as excessive use of force.
