Not delusions. I'm just better than you in every conceivable measure.

What you don't seem to realize is that is not saying much at all.

So ... I take it you haven't tried it. It's not a matter of strength, it's a matter of where your center of gravity lies and your lack of leverage.

Another thing you're failing to consider is that there is more than one civilian involved in this equation in most cases.
So the answer is to put 4 cops on one person à la George Floyd, tying EVERYONE up for one person??

Handcuffed or not, they shouldn't be expected to babysit somebody that they've put against a wall when there are other potential hostiles in the area.

OH WAIT! I misunderstood! You think if the cops kill the person in handcuffs it's one less person to deal with! AHA! I got it now!








Go back to your lab.

You have no business even having an opinion on this.

In other words, you've got nothing cogent to post OT so you're tantrumming.

Well, your end of the discussion seems to have run its course to the usual snark&troll conclusion.

So I'm outa' here.

No. I have done your little experiment. And a long time before you brought it up too. It's easy to do. What? Do you think a person becomes a turtle on its back by some sort of magical pose that the cops can put them in? You're fuckin nuts.

And how were they going to get Floyd to sit in that magical position that doesn't exist in the first place when they couldn't get him to comply with a single order?

Did you even see the video, fuckwit?

ETA: I'm not trying to make it hard for cops to do their jobs. I posted - more than once - that Rashard Brooks (the guy who took the Taser from a cop and pointed it at them) - was a threat and the cop acted in self defense.

I've been making one very specific and very limited point, which is questioning why additional restraints are used on people who are already in cuffs. In 2 very specific instances - George Floyd and Daniel Prude - the men were ALREADY in cuffs. WHY were they further restrained? Why shouldn't there be a 'bright line' at cuffing suspects, where further retraining measures like prone positioning etc are no longer allowed?

My crippled 90 year old grandma could keep you there, god rest her soul.


"My buddy was a lanky little shit back in the day who weighed 120lbs soaking wet and loved telling the story about when he got a DUI and really pissed off the cops by throwing his legs through his arms that were cuffed behind him ..."

DOOD. I ALREADY DISCUSSED THAT! Sheesh. What do you do for reading, nowadays? Your buddy - was certainly not representative of the majority of people for size or flexibility. And once out he was not going to threaten anybody physically, not even me, today, as an arthritic dumpy old lady. But there's a way to cuff little people so that doesn't happen, which is to pass the chain around a cuff to shorten it up (... as my retired cop friend tells me).

YES, i recall seeing your question. Recognized it as a spectacularly insipid and ignorant point of view, from an extremely coddled and ignorant place, hermetically sealed, cocooned, and insulated little world.

My first thought was "that is and Engineer question" - meaning "engineer accidentally encountered the real World, and is perplexed" type of utterance.
Then I chuckled, and then ignored it.

I could not fathom how to respond to an adequate degree without also leaving room for insult to be interpreted, so I left it alone and moved on.


I once saw a man who needed to be removed from an establishment, and he was about 150 pounds. 5 Bouncers had their hands full wrestling him out the door. Every bouncer outweighed the miscreant, and at least one bouncer was double his weight. One bouncer had each limb, he was face down, and the 5th bouncer kept kicking him in the crotch, every single step, and nothing had any effect on this guy - they tussled all the way to the parking lot, where they waited for police to arrive.


With Affirmative Action, all police practices must be able to be executed equally well and effectively by both men and women officers, no matter how petite they are.


What would you find the perfect solution for this case: already cuffed, inside cop car, breaks out windows of car and escapes, and unresponsive to tasering? I mean without injuries to the cops. (IIRC, about a half dozen cops present at the Jail's Sally Port). You are delusional to think this guy was no physical threat to anybody, whether old like you or not, whether male or female.

She only watches edited video when she wants to be outraged. And she thinks that your center of gravity in your chest cannot be outmaneuvered by your strength, just because her center of gravity in her hips prevents her minor strength from overpowering.

I see that once again you've put yourself in your usual position, as JACK's chihuahua, yapping noisily and pointlessly behind his heels.

HAVE I SEEN - DOOD! YES!! I'VE SEEN!!

Doods on PCP so violently throwing their weight around, even in restraints on a 400lb gurney, that they almost overturned the gurney.

Were they a hazard to anyone BUT themselves?

NO.

They weren't.

That's the issue.


AS TO YOU COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC **ISSUE** of the guy and the bouncers - did they - **AT ANY TIME** - have him in cuffs?

TRY TO KEEP YOUR MIND FROM WANDERING A LA BIDEN. The **ISSUE** IS WHAT COPS DO WITH PEOPLE **AFTER** THEY'RE IN CUFFS.
Can you focus enough to remember that in your next so-called reply?

She's got tons of experience dealing with physical altercations.

Little known secret, but those sterile labs were the original birthplace of the MMA.
