I do find it beliveable that the star of david was unintentional

I don't. Kicking or stepping on someone creates clear, directional injuries, not carefully placed marks with no sign of movement to some side or distortion. Especially of that person is resisting.

This injury looks to be inflicted on someone who is completely unable to move and by someone who has time and space to carefully place their branding and apply pressure for a while.
