I was lucky in the fact I accomplished what I did. Learning to kick someone's feet out from under them payed off in that case.rbwhatever1 wrote:Keith B wrote:An officer can bounce around a lot if they work as a reserve for various agencies before getting hired permanently by a department.
As for shooting and radioing, I had a speaker microphone in one had, gun in the other while wrestling a subject to the ground when I was a LEO. It wasn't graceful by either of us, but I did get backup radioed for and incapacitated the subject. Luckily I didn't have to shoot him.
Well. You did a fine job since you didn't accidentally shoot anyone, including yourself!
I'm not so graceful. I once had a flight instructor tell me "fly the radio crash the plane or crash the radio fly the plane". I was apparently focusing too much on the radio and not enough on the landing I was about to make going into Nashville.

Re: Alamo Heights: Officer fatally shoots student
You don't always need hands for wrestling. When I was in high school we had a student who had a birth defect and had a stub on one arm and only partial use of the other hand. He was one of our best wrestlers on the team.tbrown wrote:I hope this post isn't deleted if I observe that doesn't leave many hands free for wrestling.Keith B wrote:I had a speaker microphone in one had, gun in the other while wrestling a subject to the ground when I was a LEO

Re: Alamo Heights: Officer fatally shoots student
An officer can bounce around a lot if they work as a reserve for various agencies before getting hired permanently by a department.
As for shooting and radioing, I had a speaker microphone in one had, gun in the other while wrestling a subject to the ground when I was a LEO. It wasn't graceful by either of us, but I did get backup radioed for and incapacitated the subject. Luckily I didn't have to shoot him.
