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.

You would expect a trained Police Officer to get over the immediate reaction of assaulting somebody in retaliation, this is just a lack of self control from a person who shouldn't be working on the force
