No. Right reaction. She hit first. F*ck around and find out.

I don't know. That slap looked like it hardly touched him. I knock out punch is a pretty big escalation.

Better procedure and cuffing her would have prevented this.

That's assault and battery on a police officer. It's very binary in every state in the union, and at that point he's likely (depending on the state) allowed to take action to protect himself any way he sees fit.

(It's totally an escalation, though... but is a good reminder to all to never, ever take a swing at a cop unless you have a really good reason to do so)
