My thought would be to show this to the opposing team's coach and point out to him that this is an illegal technique. That is very clear in the third play that is shown. I'd also show this to your league officials with the recommendation that all coaches be made aware that this is an illegal blocking technique and also made aware of the safety aspect.

That's where I think I would start.
It's also quite possible that the other coach isn't aware of this since it was not called during the game. I agree in approaching him but I'd do so carefully. You don't want to make him defensive from the start. Instead, you just want to show him what you have and ask him to correct it.
