That was a busy week… I had a PST course in the middle which is always good for a laugh…
I remember when we were not allowed to have handcuffs on show because it “looked too threatening”…we were not allowed to do anything to arrested types except “hold to pervent escape”…
Now we use the firearms mantra: everything is a weapon and everything is a target…
I was told we can now: bite…head butt… Even spit!
The trainer had no answer to the question “how do you protect from ipcc complaints if you are seen on cctv biting someone in a fight?
Heh…
spit? really??
Yup to ‘distract’ your opponent. …
