Otherwise known as the ‘flash bang’ principal. Once you’ve established preclusion, and no voluntary compliance is forthcoming? The need to change the narrative and get ahead of the violence curve is critical for EVERYONES safety. Excellent timing and technique on the part of the officer!
"I wouldn't have done that." - Said Everyone That's what some people are thinking. The officer's actions were based on his perception that lead up to him responding to this call, engaging the subject, and neutralizing the threat. I don't have the background on this call but all I can say is, someone knows how to wrastle things bigger than him. Range management and distraction strikes work. It happened fast and you can see it's effectiveness. The rest was clinch and control with overwhelming speed and assertiveness. What do you all think? #police #lawenforcement #defensivetactics
