Jinn,
the whole point here is that the perp was on the ground prone yes, but when you watch the video, the supporting officers were what 2 seconds behind? He could have simply waited for 2 fucking seconds and then properly made the arrest. Instead, this guy pulls out a "distraction blow" for no apparent reason. I don't know how many people could pull a weapon out when their face is in the dirt and arms are stretched out in front of them. This is still in my view an unwarranted act of force and the cop should be at the very least suspended.
Sure cops have to take precaution, but going all gung-ho without any support is hardly a precaution.
