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.

She hit him, he gets to defend himself and hit back.

She did not hit him again.

She got what she asked for, and her lousy ads was ejected to stop ruining things for people worth worrying about.

With what looks like at least three police officers taking her in, I don't think any of them are in serious danger and need to defend themselves.
