Was he wrong for punching the guy, yes, was it worthy of doing time? No.

They're supposed to handcuff everybody they take into custody or detain.

Yes they are.

You people defending a crooked cop are too much. I hope he gets his ass kicked repeatedly in prison.

for those who want details

A former Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy will spend 18 months behind bars for beating a handcuffed man who asked to use the bathroom.
38-year-old Scott Krause broke down and apologized for beating Ray Calderon because he wouldn't stop kicking the window in the sally port while waiting to be booked in the jail on an outstanding warrant.

And when someone is using his feet, to kick a window or otherwise, you hobble him (tie him by his ankles to the handcuffs).

Then again, common sense should be used. I've been in the back of a police vehicle and they had the blast heater going. I was beating on the window to get his attention, not to break it. Seems like this guy was doing the same. If he was trying to break the window, he'd have been hitting it hard not just knocking on it.

The guy needed to use the bathroom.

Agreed. I wasn't so much saying that this person needed to be hobbled, as I was that there was a viable alternative to beating on the guy if the officer felt that he needed to be stopped from kicking at the window.
