...he doubtless saved her life...or maybe the perp's...because without help, she might have had to shoot him...glad he stepped up...when forced to pin a struggling suspect, my best results were to kneel on one knee in the small of their back...one hand holding their neck down...they couldn't get a hold of me nor could they get leverage to get up...there're probably other ways...but that got me through...and I could still see approaching problems...we had very little training in my day...
