A New York City Police Department (NYPD) upper level ("white shirt") was publicized, in video shown on television news, punching a protestor, in the October 15, 2011 Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, with the highest number of protestors in Times Square.
(I do not associate with comments by the video posters or comment contributors.)
Yet a search produces several instances of police officers punching people.
Here is a list, chronological, from oldest, to newest:

Two Dozen Arrests Made During "Occupy Wall Street" Protest, By: Erica Ferrari
Confrontations occurred between the police and protesters Friday. Violence was captured on video, as a high-ranking police officer could be seen punching a protester in the face. Another protester allegedly had his foot run over by an officer.
As such, police were out in full force Saturday, as protesters planned to march up to Times Square after gathering in Washington Square Park.
"We are going to enforce the law when it's violated," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
