This is a perfect example of why cops need more/better training. They allowed him to keep them in front instead of having one behind him. The female office was using her ASP collapsible baton (Think Nancy Kerrigan) incorrectly.

After the Rodney King incident I trained a number of police groups in the correct use of the defensive tactical baton (Yes the name does matter when you are in court defending your actions.) and Pr-24. It is amazing how few of our officers have no advanced training in this.

LOL

I studied to become a cop(didn’t) and took offensive/defensive classes.

I never see cops use their baton correctly.

We were taught poke, punch and use of the baton for leverage holds that were well....a wee bit painful but very effective in leading people around in circles until they uncle or “Whatever you want man! Whatever you want man! AahhHHHHHH!”
