The problem to me here is his punch was just pay back for the slap. He could have prevented her from hitting him again just as easily without punching her in the face that hard. Sure, she deserved it, but it's not a cops job to dish out punishment like that.

Did she deserve it? Maybe she deserves an additional charge or something, but let's be honest, that cop reacted out of anger, not of any moral stance.

So they should just sit there being attacked? Are you going to wait for her to tire herself out?

Where did you get your training that allows you to say with such authority that that guy did not deserve to defend himself?
