Well thats not 100% true Dirty. Law Enforcement has set use of force guidelines that they need to follow, per their departments policies. Mine is
1. My presence
2. Verbal commands
3. Tazer
4. Soft hand force ie. wrist locks, pressure points
5. OC spray/hard hands to include striking areas of the body to cause confusion.
6. ASP
7. H & K .45/ rem 870 12 gauge/ MP15 .223
Use of force is escalated based on the level of threat.
I was taught like this: Its kinda like Road House
You ask them
You tell them
You make them
Its not a debate
