There's a big difference between "gently picking someone up and helping them into a cruiser", and booting someone in the head who has clearly laid down in a non threatening position.
A cop's job is to apprehend the suspect with as much force as is nesseccary. It's the courts job to dole out punishment, the cop can't use excessive force to dole out their own punishment because they were forced to run.
I guess the conclusion here is, Did the kid probably deserve a boot to the head? Probably. Was it nesseccary, and therefor legal to do what that cop did. Absolutley not.
