kicking not a violation? possible ?

[MN 3 Sport Ref]

I understand the advantage/disadvantage logic behind taking away an easy two from the offense, however when the defender INTENTIONALLY kicked/touched the ball w/ his/her foot we need a kick here IMO. I think mick is correct in talking to the kicker as if some contact was created because of the kick, tempers could start flaring quickly. Unless this action was done w/ the intent of hurting the offensive player we would quickly get into trouble bringing the word "T" into this case play.
