Thank you for your input. There were a couple of iffy incidents I was involved in with knives that Marines usually carried. Worked out for the best...only some bruises and minor light cuts. They were tough guys to take down. One already in handcuffs on the ground kept kicking and fighting until we put leg shackles on - took 5 of us even then. He was one big pissed off hombre. I never blamed him since he was taught to fight and was smashed. Marines are my favorite branch to this day.

I doubt New York will ever be what you knew it to be. Yes, Cuomo is guilty of his stupid policy that created more deaths in assisted living facilities. This whole shutdown of our Country is insane. If COVID went away tomorrow, there will still be many millions affected over many years. Take care.

I laugh when I hear people ask why it took so many officers to get control of someone. Unless those people have ever been involved in one of those situations, they have no idea how many people it can take to control one person.
