"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” - General James Mattis
Restraining a fully grown man, one who is probably on an adrenaline high, isn't as easy as whipping out the zip tie and slapping it on. Law enforcement isn't comprised of super humans, they can still be overpowered by brute force and sheer strength in a window as small as 10 seconds.
For the most part, I agree with you - more training is needed. It just seems like you are under-serving the officer in this situation.
What site did you google this from? Did you put in "how to subdue a bad guy" and just grabbed the first page you could?
In a perfect world a knee to the back would work just fine. But bad guys resist and makes that shit hard as fuck.
Do you not have brothers? Have you ever actually been in a physical struggle? It ain't nearly as easy as you are making it out to be.
Especially when you are trying to hold both hands behind their back while applying pressure to pin them down while trying to get your cuffs out and on the bad guy.

Then you didn't properly use your weight against a person's pressure points. Obviously two people can subdue more quickly, but a properly trained police officer, meaning regularly schedule intervals of training within a year, should be able to apprehend a perp without any problem.
No. Just no.
I guarantee I could get you cuffed. But if you resisted it would take longer than 10 seconds.
Everything you are saying is so wrong that it's sad.
You didn't answer my question btw about ever having to subdue or even fight anyone.
Have you? You do understand it's not as easy as Bruce Lee made it look right?

I'm not attacking the officer, I am reiterating the very agreeable premise that police officers need more training, more often. True, but under ideal circumstances, this shouldn't be something out of realm of possibility for a police officer to do if it's his job.

More hyperbole.
"That shit that is hard as fuck" is why regular training is paramount. This is why there is a national debate on better police training and accountability. Yes it's hard, but it's their job and they must be able to know how to do it correctly. I guarantee you this cop didn't have regular training as to apprehend a suspect.
It's clear to everyone here you have no idea what you're talking about. Your opinion of what cops should be able to do what super powers "training" gives them is obviously not based in any form of reality. Situations like this are fluid and there is no technique that works in all situations that will always succeed under 10 secs. To claim otherwise just shows your ignorance.
