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.

I mean in England this guy would lose his job. Cops don't do that here. It would be a huge deal if they did.
