i mean, that just shows me that more than ever cops need to learn how to defend themselves....i can't claim these techniques will work every time, BUT, it can't hurt you know.....
you show me one vid of a cop catching a beat down and i am supposed to think that basic holds won't work?
please.......

If I saw a cop doing this to a kid I'd take his gun and shoot him in the face.

Nice solution.
You find me a form of self defense that doesnt entail doing bodily harm onto the perpetrator in some form. Your arguement is null.

^^^^i think that is the most lame thing i have ever heard....tons of generalizations floating around here....a guy 'just swings'
Also, the 'leverage' arguement on the take down...try it. It is alot harder to apply tactics such as those in a real world situation as opposed to training for it.
^^^^oh, i've tried it...been on both ends of it tons of times....is it hard to apply these tactics in real world situations? sometimes.....does that mean that whould not know these techniques? i think you are mistaken my friend....if you are trained in the proper techniques, a takedown/toss/throw is not as hard as you are making it out to be.
'oh, it's hard to learn the proper way to hold/toss/lock, so lets just not try and learn.
who cares if the cops are out of shape and have no self defense training...
this crap is getting old, fast

Wow…
I just talked to a law enforcement friend of mine down here about this video, and here is what he told me is the “use of force matrix” for the state of Florida. The “Matrix” escalates according to how much a person struggles, an officer is allowed to use as much force as required to restrain the person. Biting (if suspected to have HIV), or kicking an officer in the privates may escalate the situation up to the level of using lethal force. A police officer in this state is “Required” to apply either a Taser, or pepperspray prior to attempting to subdue the suspect with physical force.
It’s a state law…
He told me that he would be happy to give me a copy of the actual state guidelines showing this.
If thats the case you damn well know a month by month course will not do anyone any good. You will also know when put on the spot or in the ring what most people learn goes out the window. A lot agencies actually teach techniques that come out of such martial arts. Unfortunately not all officers have the time to make a life commitment to a martial arts which is whats required to get any good at it.

i've got plenty of experince with muay thai/western boxing/bjj/greco and folk wrestling.
i have been on the mats and such hundreds of times....
what do i need to try? i need to try and cuff a 100 pound girl to validate what i am saying?
meh....i know what i am talking about here. if you don't want to believe me or if you want to think i am lying, thats cool.
makes no difference really.
i'm just tossing out ideas for people that care to read them.
You're on PrisonPlanet. Do you think they are going to tell stories of how the Police stopped a shooting? How they helped someone like they do most of the time? I don't think so. All they show is the rare "bad cop" to turn people against them as a whole.

I am very unfamiliar with Akido. But judo on the other hand doesn't fall under that category.

Judo and Akido come to mind. Of course you can strike with Akido but that's not it's main function.

Thank you for reposting your quote about the Matrix. It more justifies the use of lethal force, as well as the hefty punch in the face, I dont agree with it though, I just now understand the laws there.
