Unless there are facts which haven’t yet been released, I hope this deputy isn’t charged.
Boru
if a man bit you would you have punched him?
Yes. I’ve never been bitten by a human being of either sex. I’ve been bitten by a dog who got punched for his efforts, I can’t imagine that my reaction to a human bite would be much different.
It’s not particularly germane, but I actually HAVE punched a woman, but only because she stabbed me with a fork.

-as for the other high profile example..we don't really have to pick two, but the cops did assault the home of a sleeping couple looking for someone who didn't live there and wound up killing someone who did. Then they tried to charge the survivor with assault and attempted murder. Or maybe the bbq guy who got shot and left in the street for dead in the parking lot of his own business?
I know, hard to keep track with us anymore. 
As for focusing on cops..well..just doing their jobs - which this example probably isn't a good example of....
It's unremarkable and irrelevant, particularly now. When the guy at rotten rons spits in your burger, the fact that the last guy made it how you ordered it serves very little purpose beyond deflection for the event that is..or at least should be...remarkable. Decency doesn't cost extra and it's not a privilege, it's the baseline expectation - and our right. Every single time.

A guy who can't control his violent impulses probably shouldn't be a cop, wouldn't you agree?
Who said it isn't controlled?
I figure one tooth per bite mark is a fair trade.

Cops are in the violence trading business? Jesus christ... he's lucky he won't have you for a lawyer, isn't he?
"Your honor, my client did not intend to bash ms so and so on her head, it was not an act of malice or revenge. It was a heat of the moment reaction to the painful and unexpected event of her biting him"
Bingo. Slap on the wrist, couple of hours of sensitivity training. Done.

It has nothing to do with cops.
It is simply being human.

Don't want to lose teeth? Brush, floss and don't go biting other people.
A fair number don't play with one hand tied behind their back.

"My bad your honor, I'm only human, can I go home now?"
Cmon man. We hold cops to a higher standard for good reason. Hell, you couldn't swing that shit even if you weren't a cop. That's beneath our normal standards for all human beings. She bites you, you hit her back, you're both going to jail on domestic violence.

Well, not officially. More like a free-lance do-gooder combating the forces of evil wherever they may lurk.

Yabut that’s not how I’d treat a man. I hit her to make her stop grinding the fork into my thigh, and that was the end of hit.
If it had been a bloke, I would have continued pounding him until he quit twitching.
