Yes, I do martial arts, specifically Judo. So I have the training on how to subdue someone safely without injuring them.

Fastest way to a lawsuit and possible criminal action. a "Trained individual" is held to a higher standard by the courts. I am a high school teacher and a Black belt in Modern Arnis, and Arnis de Mano. I used to train police recruits and do professional /staff development for various departments in the use of the PR-24 and Defensive tactical baton. I had to chance to sit in while department lawyers told us that each of us would be held to a higher standard because of our training and background. I specifically asked them about waht I could do in a school situation. I was basically told to put my hands up and take a step back.

Eh, I’ve been told by lawyers that I could never get qualified to teach because of my disability. I don’t listen to lawyers. I’d rather do the right thing, and if I get fired, so be it. There are worse things in life than to be terminated for doing one’s job.
