Pre-emptive strike

[Scoop 0]

OK, this is most definately not a home office approved technique but it was very effective

When unsure as to someones mental state or intentions, take them down before they get a chance to take you.

Hat off to the cop I say, at no point (until striking) did he get so close to the subject as to put himself in danger. I wish more officers would do it, I see too many friends getting injured from not remembering basic officer safety lessons.

Also a perfect demonstration of the 5 step appeal

Good strike, he's lucky the guys head didn't hit the floor, I saw a guy killed in Jo'burg from something similar when the back of his head hit the floor and fractured his skull.

Yeah, I agree, throat slam isn't exactly appropriate, imagine the respitory problems he may have had.

He wasn't actively resisting but being mindful of what he may have been holding in his pockets an arm entanglement or inverted wrist lock with step over may have been more appropriate. Laying on someone with their arms underneath them just causes problems

I've no issue with the guy being taken down in the circumstances. As you know its more of a probem to have somone laying on their stomach with their hands cuffed behind their back. Thats more of a problem for fat guys or blokes with a gut on them but for extended periods of time its a problem for all due to postural asphixiation. Cuff them and put them on their side.

I know I'm probably not getting the best view, but it looks to me as though that initial hold is kind of weak and the martial arts dressed up guy is letting him have his wrist. I'd be concerned about the whole legs and feet and all that still being pretty available...

-Not like I know anything at all about this stuff though. I was trained in hand-to-hand combat by an entity that really doesn't care about hand-to-hand combat!! It was more of a dance recital than fight training ("You put your foot over there...no no no, you have to have your foot there or I can't throw you! Ok now you're supposed to grab this arm so I can elbow you in the ribs...WRONG ARM!!! Now WTF do we do??" )

If I was assautled the best I've got is a piercing scream.
