I used to collect Marvel, but DC stuff rarely, usually Batman titles. Batman punch a cop? Not typical in my memory. Take a look at the "Dark Knight Returns" graphic novel. Batman comes out of retirement as an old man, when the Joker escapes yet again. One of my favorite scenes is when the new (female) police commissioner pulls a gun on him and tries to arrest him to prevent him from going after anybody as a vigilante, he smacks her in the face, takes her gun away, goes "Hmm, nice gun", and flies off in his BatCopter.

Different situation, though. She was in his way while he was after the Joker. In this case he attacked a cop who was only doing his job, protecting civilians, for pretty much no reason. Just felt like punching out a good cop. Of course, it was "all a dream", so it doesn't matter. Still ridiculous, though.

Oh, yeah! I remember that, a buddy had that one, I wish I did now. Miller's stuff was really pretty good.
