Yes, but the courts deal with people vandalising cars, not the police by administering beatings in the street. Some countries do that, like the Taliban used to beat women for showing a wrist, but it didn't seem to lead to a great society of respect and individual wellbeing.... The issue isn't that she's an angel, it's whether or not that copper was out of line - we are policed by consent in this country so trusting the police to stick to reasonable force only is perfectly reasonable. Human rights apply to everyone, not just the people we choose to think of as "nice".
