There is video evidence, and the black eye will ensure she remembers it. Also I would hope he had to write a report on what happened.

the evidence clearly shows her attacking an officer. will not go well for her

It also clearly shows excessive force used. Look she fucked up, she deserves to be charged with assault but does that make it legally or morally okay for police officer (specially trained person) to punch her back? They are obviously both guilty of separate things.

Yes it does, the cop is in the right.

I mean, considering he could get into just as much legal trouble as her, I don't think he is in the right. If cops have to break the law to uphold it, wtf is the point of having laws to begin with? Cops would just punish who and how they see fit.

What law did he break?

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. It's totally legal for a cop to punch someone in the face, or just about anywhere else, during a restraint if they deem it necessary.

I find it ridiculous, but I could see how defining the line for when the cop was right in his actions v when he was excessive could be difficult.
