depends what you mean by this. I agree she was doing action X, wether you call that protesting or being aggresive or whatever, and the policeman reacted to this. In that respect she was responsible for what happend, but as far as her being respocible for the fact that he over-reacted and attacked her, he is wholly resposible for that, yes. If you annoy me and i then take it upon myself to punch you in the face then i am the one that is wholly responsible for the fact that I punched you in the face, as i didn't act proprtionatly, and it becomes even more important when I am a police officer
