Training in the technique demonstrated specifically?
Garner was not combative or aggressive in any way prior to being grabbed and the lack of non-compliance he exhibited was pulling his arm away and putting them in the air when his arm was grabbed, and nothing more. Based on that I would assume you feel only verbal commands should have been used, correct?
Specific training on that specific technique specifically speaking? No, I don't. But I do have enough training in other specific techniques, as well as a metric shit ton of real world experience, with subjects of different sizes, shapes, and colors, to know what works and what doesn't.
Maybe, the guy that made the video can remake it with his demonstrator doing exactly what Garner did, being the same size as Garner, and showing the same non compliance as Garner. Wouldn't that give a more fair assessment then the training video that appears to fix all of our LE takedown problems magically?
Ive asked it before, what do you think should be the next step once verbal commands are ignored? Is it right that we put our hands on people? Or to kick people like the video suggests?
