Not everything leads to the worst possible scenario. Simply kicking this guy won't one day lead to shoot first ask for pen knife later!!

here's the problem though. we're putting the cops on the same level as the gangbanger who was breaking the law. Police are trained to act professional and only use force when it is necessary. For a cop to kick a man who has fully surrendered while he is down, does nothing but put the cop on the same level as the criminal. How many stories of police brutality and trigger happy cops does it take before the public understands that police are not the final word on the law and that they quite often abuse any power they do have? I don't care if the guy was driving stupidly, it's not up to any cop to take force to a surrendered suspect. It's up to the judge and jury to decide the mans fate.
Add the fact that another cops comes in and starts hitting the guy in the side for no reason and then the high five at the end and it's clearly an abuse of power. Here's a tip for cops, if a guy is surrendered, and another cop is on top of him getting the cuffs on him, it's a bit difficult for the man to put his other arm behind him.. so instead of punching him in the ribs, grab his arm and tell the other pig to move.
here's the video in case nobody has seen it. Now if someone can give a really good argument as to why the kick was administered I'll listen; but after watching it several times, I cannot see any reason why it was necessary.
