I would describe allowing yourself to be overpowered by an unarmed drunk man as being incompetent. I’m just talking about how police are supposed to be able to handle themselves.

I agree with you. The police can't have it both ways, saying that they are the professionals and let them handle it, then acting like a thug and using the police card as a shield. I have see men and women talk a drunk down, without a bit of police training... and a trained police officer cannot? Who needs them then, they just seem to make things worse.

You do, hopefully, understand that not everyone is going to be cooperative right?

You’ve clearly never dealt with people who cannot be reasoned with because of their intoxication/mental illness/desperation to not be incarcerated, etc., or you wouldn’t make such a statement. Once a person cannot be reasoned with and is violent, things go downhill fast.

Be glad you’ve never had to deal with this, but do not judge those who do.

And in your world, that works 100% of the time? Some drunks are weepy and emotional, some get horny, others get chatty, and then some are downright mean and homicidally violent.
