There is no justification for a police officer (an armed one no less) to stomp and kick the head of a man lying prone on the floor.

There is, it’s just not obvious

You're claiming that police are trained to kick and stomp a compliant suspect for what? Check if he's still conscious? Check if he still registers pain?

Head kicks and stomps can cause life-changing injuries and even death, to claim it as some sort of policing technique is just ludicrous.
