The person should have simply been arrested, then, for disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, or what ever other law he allegedly broke. Arrested in a professional, non-emotional manner.
Physically beating the person as retaliation for calling the police officer a name is illegal and a violation of the person's rights. That's a simple legal fact.
And, a law enforcement officer is deputized by the government to legally carry and gun and use force, up to deadly force, against citizens when necessary. An officer using the power of the government on a personal whim to beat up a citizen because he was personally insulted by a word - and being commended for it by so many here - is a fascist mentality.
