29. It depends on how much resistance the suspect is doing
Sun Sep 2, 2012, 06:46 PM

if it's just minimal resistance, absolutely not, now if the officer is fighting for his life, then all bets are off. We are trained to use several pain compliance holds that will get a suspect to do just about anything we want them to do, my personal favorite is the arm bar or the wrist bend, with those two, I can get control of someone with minimum use of force and minimum pain.
Of course, it doesn't always work out that way and then either the tazer, asp, or pepper spray comes out.
