Lots of opinions not backed w/ facts on this subject. I was 1st trained in use of the "choke hold" in 1966, in the LE world it was commonly referred to as the carotid caress.
The goal was to contain the neck from the rear w/ the carotids compressed by your bicep on one side and the radius bone on the other. Blood supply to the brain was reduced and the subject usually became flaccid in 10 seconds or less and pressure was relaxed.
Those who haven't tried to restrain a resisting person should understand that you will be injured if you do not control: The hands, fists claws weapons The feet and legs, they will kick or knee you The head, yes Nancy, scumbags will bite you, many carry disease.
Fact: where the head goes the body follows.
Shamu had the right to comply w/ a lawful order he chose to resist and the cops aren't allowed to let you go.
When you choose to fight w/ the cops you are expected to lose.
Facts are a bitch.
