After watching the video I can see no justification for a kick to face. The kid was on the ground and passive at that point. Even if the kid has a gun on the ground the kick was not justified. In fact the if the kid did have a weapon the kick put the police officer in a vulnerable position as during the kick he no longer has his gun pointed at the suspect. If he is concerned about the suspect having a weapon he should wait with his gun drawn for his partner to come and search and cuff the suspect. This way the kid is dead if he trys something while being cuffed.
