Devil's advocate: if you're untrained† and flailing around while trying to be restrained, an elbow or knee could smash someone's nose or groin pretty hard.
† I.e., not an MMA fighter or into judo or BJJ, which has a lot of grappling techniques.

- embedding-shape 1y agoHuh, how does it matter if the person being arrested or not is trained? Obviously she's a regular person, not martial arts expert, and even if she was, police should be trained to arrest people without hurting them, something the people in the video clearly haven't been trained in.
- Jtsummers 1y agoThat's a pretty lame devil's advocate position. You know how you deal with people flailing about wildly? You step back and let them wear themselves out. Better, don't drag someone out of their car at gunpoint to provoke a flailing response when you have no reason to drag them out of their car at all. They were not at risk of injury until they chose to engage with a US citizen whose vehicle they hit in a violent manner.
