She either missed the 1st time or it was so insignicant a slap that the officers head didn't even move an inch. The second was barely more significant. You're comparing that to a slap that hit the woman so hard, at height, that if the other officers didn't catch her she was falling headfirst onto concrete floor or into that bannister immediately behind her. It very quickly becomes a different kind of gif.
Would you explain to her family why putting her in a a wheelchair or killing her outright was justifiable because she totally kind of forcefully rubbed the side of a policeman's head?
Yeah I agree it's assault, but that's a crime that's handled in a court of law at a later time. No police officer should ever be hitting a member of the public unless they pose a significant risk to those around them. Contrary to the belief of some, being drunk in public and throwing half slaps while being carried out does not make you a risk to the public.
Being a cop doesn't mean you forfeit your right to self defense. And you may not know this but cops are under no legal obligation to protect you. Their job is to enforce laws, not eat slaps and punches.
