So in the vid, did that slap really hurt the cop or his "irreplaceable vision"? she barely touched him, and he full-on punched her in the head. how was that justified?

Exactly. There’s a undercurrent of “it’s just a girl” going on here. As if your eyeball can tell whose is swinging fingernails at it.

It’s an overreaction maybe, but it seems like it might be the first taste of real world consequences this girl has ever experienced.

I’d call it a great learning experience for everyone. Maybe the cops will now just force cuffs on everyone being belligerent (despite the inevitable heckling/ridicule for doing this to a “tiny girl”) and the girl can learn what all men and most minority women already know: you swing on a meathead or a cop, you’re going to pay a price.
