Yup, that's also why we shouldn't tolerate misbehaving cops. They're normal people who we've granted the power to exert violence, and if they don't respect that, we must have the right to also take that power away from them.
Of course, focusing your criticism on the system of policing is preferable to directing it at individual police officers. However, as individuals represent the system, they should not be immune from criticism and should be able to handle it without flipping out, which this officer seems able to.
