Re: Pittsburgh Police Taser (with audio)


It is claimed by some that the police had no other recourse but to taser the girl. This is absurd. The idea that multiple 200+ pound officers could not singly or as a group subdue and arrest a 100-odd pound girl is absurd. Proper techniques would have brought this situation to a speedy conclusion, without the need to resort to a taser. My assistants in this video were not told in advance what techniques would be done on them, but just to act naturally as they would in a similar situation. To respond to some comments, I do not end in full handcuffing position so as to not block the camera shot. To those who claim that this techniqiue would not work against a resisting subject, this is addressed in the video. If a subject resists, and will not give you the arm, it actually makes it easier. By keeping their arm tight to their body, they actually help by allowing you to lift them off the ground by this arm. They can then be maneuvered, using both leverage and inertia, onto their stomach. This technique is from toho jutsu, the technical name for the collection of tactics used by the Tokyo Police Department. It is NOT a pain compliance move, per se, but rather a leverage technique.
