Drunk or not, that’s not cool. I used to work as a nightclub doorman and had this happen to me loads, especially by drunk girls; never once did I feel compelled to lay one on them. The guy is a small mountain, even the slightest tap from him would be excessive force - let alone a full blow to the chin. The guy clearly has issues.
Unfortunately the reality is that he knows if she makes an issue out of it he can just come back with a charge of assaulting an officer
Edit: In case it wasn't clear, yes that is in fact what happened. The commission of a crime should not give an officer carte blanche, however, to use excessive force. That's the whole reason police are called to deal with crime - to be dispassionate arbiters of justice for the aggrieved party; I understand that in the moment he needed to react, but he should be held to a standard of calmly dealing with the situation that is clearly not life-threatening to him and instead he chose to act out of anger knowing that he will be able to get away with it
