Physical contact with a student without there being a real risk to the officer's (or others') safety is completely unacceptable.
The truth probably isn't being projected in this story as I can't imagine an officer taking down a kid trying to give a hug. The kid was probably a big wise ass the whole semester and was somehow denegrating the cop just prior to trying to "hug" them. Even still there's no excuse for the actions of the officer.
