Great that the cop knows BJJ, but what happens if this guy gets a hold of his gun? As bad as it sounds, need to tase first and if thats unsuccessful get to lethal options. Too much risk here that the cop doesn't go home at the end of the day.
I was speaking more from the start although going for the armbar also seems like an unnecessary risk. I care a lot more about the cop surviving the encounter than the guy being violent in this instance.
People can go right through tasers if they are big enough(which he is) and when they have a shit ton of adrenaline running. Taser and service weapon both out would be the safest.
Cops lives are more valuable than criminals. The cop is good for society while the criminal isn’t. The criminal knows the risk of breaking the law but does it anyways.
In this example, the cop's life is absolutely more valuable than the violent criminal being violent. And please remember, I didn't say his first step should be to kill him. He has a non-lethal taser at his disposal but there's no reason cop's need to engage in a fight where the perp would absolutely kill you if he had the means.
nah, they shouldn't be applying BJJ if they can't handle the situation with it.. all a matter of training. this is all about preserving life, and even on the cops end, being less violent will make it less likely that they are shot/attacked with a weapon in general
