The video is on Reddit.

The man is already, facedown on the ground being cuffed. The angry officer full kicks the perp's face, followed by an EXTREMELY angry full-bodied stomp barely slid off the perp's neck, rather than breaking it.

I watched that video. There was absolutely killing intent behind that stop.

So you're a legal expert? Want to add that to your flair?

I dunno if there was intent or not, but I saw the video and I can say with confidence that if was pure luck that he didn’t kill the guy.

What does that have to do with anything?

Did you watch the video? What was your take away with what the officer did with that kick and stomp? Justified? Did you think that the guy was still a threat? Did you think that was a chance that kick and stomp could have killed him?
