It appears the officer used excessive force. Any type of kick/hit like that to the head especially with steel toed boots is essentially deadly force.
What I don't understand is if this guy was considered so dangerous why wasn't a high risk take down done on him? He should have been ordered out of the vehicle and commanded into a prone position while both officers where behind cover of their vehicle with their firearms drawn.
There would be no way in hell that I would run into that situation before the guy is completely proned out especially when the call involved the discharge of firearms.
