If the guy being arrested is drunk or high on meth he sure is much more difficult to handle even when you have several people on him. Adjusting the use of force on someone who is out of control is difficult. The victim brings this in themselves when they choose to get drunk or high. It increases your risk of accident or misbehavior.
My experience is limited to having shore patrol at fleet landing and seeing what a drunk sailor is capable of doing when all you are trying to do is get him back to the ship in one piece. Having four on one is still not enough at times.

Even while unconscious and handcuffed? Really?
