Who knows? The police have to consider the worst case scenario ever time they go in to a situation like this.
Like Nage Waza posted – it would be nice to hear from a police officer as to what is a proper response to this kind of situation – also – what are the questions/concerns that are flying thru a cops head as they are dealing with an armed suspect.

Call the police nearest to you and ask them. Do you have to be a police officer to know a situation was handled badly? Clear as day in the video the officer made a mistake and if he gets cleared of any wrongdoing I will eat my pubes in a pube sandwhich.
Guy is on all fours with a loaded weapon pointed at him, but the cop feels he is threatened so he kicks the guy in the face causing his arms and hands to be closer to his body and possibly a weapon?
I'm no expert, but I think the best possible scenario for the officer would be if the subject's hands were palm down on the pavement.
Cop made several mistakes and I'm going to say it whether an officer chimes in this thread or not.
