No, the average person wouldnt go to jail. But the average person
would be charged and most likely convicted of assault. I'm not sure if there is any kind of charge of "abuse of authority", but there damn well should be, and he should if nothing else, lose his job over it.
There are charges of impersonating a police officer, there should be an equal charge of authority abuse.
