A person who seeks vengeance for vengeance breaks the code of "eye for an eye". The initial infraction results in punishment; seeking revenge on the just punisher is a new infraction in addition to being highly unethical.
That's what I said. The attacker attempted to blind the cop, therefore the just punishment is that the cop gets to try to blind the attacker. It is highly unethical for anyone to further retaliate against the cop.
How about we just blind him with his own laser? That'd be fair, right?
Imagine going straight from your mother's basement, to jail.

He tried to blind the cop, now the cop gets to try to blind him. What's unfair?

This is nonsense.
It was the law for thousands of years, and, yet, curiously, back then the whole world was NOT blind.
I'd get behind punishments like this. There was a reason theft wasn't common when they cut your hands off for it.
Fair yes, 8th Amendment lawsuit against the police/courts and this guy becomes a millionaire on the backs of the tax payers.
