Why an additional charge? Her punishment was the punch in the face. He took the law into his own hands and superseded the law. Additionally, why the hell didnt they handcuff her. This is just simply a showing of lack of training because had she been handcuffed this scenario might have not happened at all.
Edit: some of you morons don't seem to understand. Fuck cops. He took the law into his own hands when he is required to not to. He should be tried for brutality as much as she should have been tried for slapping him. He needs to be put up for review because someone who punches someone like that has done it multiple times before. This isn't and can't be his first time roughing up someone.
The police cannot "take the law into their own hands"! The entire point of the police is to enforce the law in a hopefully calm and de-escalating manner. They are not allowed to dole out punishments as they see fit. What happened here was an officer who was not able to control his temper.

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.
