Sure cops have to take precaution, but going all gung-ho without any support is hardly a precaution.

I agree. I found the two videos pretty meaningless. In both cases you had suspects who were not lying prone, face down, with their arms spread wide and nothing in their hands. Instead you had suspects who had not surrendered, who were standing, or sitting, and therefore were automatically more ready to attack the officer than the guy this thread is about was. It would have been just as relevant to post a video of a grizzly bear attack and then claim "See? They needed to kick the suspect because a bear might attack and you don't want to have to face both at once."
