Well, she didn't quite deserve that. Whether he's a policeman or not, that's assault. There's been some similar incidents in the UK recently. I've included links, plus some context.

In the first video, protesters have been contained in an area. A guy is walking home past the area, and completely unprovoked, a riot policeman beats him to the floor. 10 minutes later he was dead. 

And in the second, the same protest, an officer appears to slap, then beat, unprovoked, a woman in the crowd.
