No, shoving a cop is justification for a cop punching the offender.

The past record gives us a hell of a lot of insight into how said offenders were behaving in advance of the recording. Wanna bet they didn't just apologize for breaking the freakin' law and walking across an incredibly busy stretch of road when there's a damn pedestrian overpass nearby?

To characterize this as an overreaction to jaywalking is to simply ignore the fact that the offenders in question fueled this entire situation by putting the officer in a position where he had little choice but to defend himself with violence.

But I'm sure these innocent little flowers did nothing to engender said angst.
