"The individual will take the cuffs, failure to comply IS NOT AN OPTION!"
I'm not defending this guy but when someone gets you in a choke hold your instincts kick in and you're going to fight to breath. If someone is hitting you (for whatever reason) your natural instinct is to protect yourself with your arms and hands, not put them behind your back.
They know that. Compliance isn't the goal. The goal is to deliver pain and injury, and to use their authority as an excuse for same. Otherwise, how explain that I and other psychiatric attendants subdued folks like this routinely without breaking bones, choking them out, or Tasering them? I never once got bit, either.
