Doesn't justify what he did. The poke was battery on a LEO, but pretty damn minor. Could have gone hands-on and cuffed him. The bitch slap (while funny) was out of line and unprofessional.
Hell, even MLB umpires have enough self control to take a poke or shove without retaliating, and those moments can get a lot more heated than what we saw in this video.
Justified, yes. Legal, maybe not. If it was an instant reaction, I think it would be different. He waited a pretty good amount of time before retaliating. I'm not sure how that works though.

Even his partner looked surprised.
The guy made contact the first time, and got near to it a second. He's actually lucky to have gotten just the slap. That officer would have been within his rights to give a much more violent take down.
