It wasn't a mistake. It wasn't an accident. If I did the same thing, I'd be charged, and with the video as evidence, I'd surely be convicted. He should get exactly the same justice I would get for making the same "mistake". A fucking sensitivity class won't cut it, and neither will suspension. He should lose his job! He shouldn't be allowed to be a such a position of authority anymore. He lost that privilege when he decided to kick a man on the ground in the face.
On top of all that, most cops that I've met wear steel toed boots. I'd be willing to wager that nobody in their right mind would reprimand their kids with a steel toed boot to the face.
