I don't know what else could have been done short of shooting the unfortunate Mr Floyd.

 

A 6 foot 6 inch man hopped up on Meth and Opiates would take quite some stopping I would imagine.

 

As I understand it he was caught in the process of passing off counterfeit bills,the restraint was a result of him breaking the law once passing the bills,then resisting arrest.

 

Can any Arbtalk martial arts experts advise on what other methods of restraint that the officer(s) could have used?

Im sure 6 officers could restrain someone without kneeling on there neck.

 

Used to do judo yrs ago  and learnt a  load of grounds hold that didn't kill anyone  so its not rocket science, and could hold down someone considereable heavier/bigger.

 

Also did choke holds & arm locks to force submission tap outs remember one  nutter wouldn't tap out  when i was choking him

 

Still remember his face was beetroot red ?  scared was gonna kill him.

@MattyF  better than i could have put it. We are pretty much blessed in many ways in this country and if  where you live  (  as i did for a while  ? ) there is a tank at the end of yr street, water is on four days in week and you had to go thru a checkpoint to get to and from work and to yr mum or school - THEN you might moan a bit.

Don't most holds rely on inflicting pain?

What would you have done if your opponent didn't feel pain?

Plastic rain

 

Plastic rain is the new acid rain

Plastic rain could prove to be a more insidious problem than acid rain.

 

Seems a huge  potential f**k up if it turns out to be as harmful as some think it may  be....
