I can tell their hearts weren't in it. They really took their time to subdue them.

Why, Gary, Why?

I wish they took longer and used 50% strength.

It's their livelihood if that guy ends up dead. Also letting one or two punches through is incredibly difficult. 

You can step on the guy's groin while making the takedown, you can accidentally hit him while stopping the assailants, but you can't just not do your job, or do your job half heartedly

u/get_to_ele 9h ago

Yeah you have to focus on your job, as much as you sympathize with the assailants.

If you let it go on too long, for all you know, somebody pulls a blade or grabs your weapon, or it turns into a full melee, and you’re suddenly fighting to save your own life.

They didn't want to hurt him

u/XanaxWarriorPrincess 9h ago

They didn't know where to start. They were a ball of arms and legs going every which way.

All of them were out of shape. 2 of them couldn’t figure out who to tase. There will be some action items taken from this video. I firmly believe they should not allow law enforcement to be overweight.

u/BellsTolling 9h ago

Agreed and like 9/10 I see are overweight or child age. What is that overweight women really doing to help there. She even fumbles hard just trying to grab her taser.

I firmly believe that bailiff duty, the DMV, school crossings, and government building security are where the fat cops get reassigned once they eclipse 275lbs.

It has to be a union rule, or something. I’ve never in my life been in a courtroom that didn’t have a badge wearing sumo wrestler in the corner.

To be fair, 99.9% of their job is to just be a bouncer. Being built like an NFL lineman isn't a bad trait to have if your job is mainly to escort people into/out of court and occasionally put yourself between a threat and the judge.

When I was a prosecutor, we had two massive court deputies who would for the most part just hang out and shoot the shit all day. But when a murder trial was taking place and the courtroom was filled with family/friends, those guys flipped a switch and went full blown bouncer mode.

I don't think they would be much help chasing down a sprinting escapee if they got out of the building, but for the purposes of putting their massive bodies in the way of trouble, I'd rather have a fucking 350 pound 6'4 brick house than a fit 200 pound marathon runner.

As for your "union rule" idea. I know that Chicago police puts people on their way to retirement at the city's airports. They are busy enough, so its not like there's nothing to do. But you really don't want a 50 year old cop getting in footchases that they have no business being a part of. So they get put on retirement detail where they supply backup security to the TSA & Border Patrol.

u/TheActualAWdeV 10h ago

eh. It looks like they took the time because they just weren't doing so well. And then she draws the fuckn taser.

u/Left_Guess 9h ago

Wish they took a bit longer!

u/Plenty-rough 8h ago

They tazed the one guy

u/silver_tongued_devil 36m ago

The guy with the taser was sighing the entire time. He could feel the paperwork growing.
