Hip throw-side control-full mount-takes back-handcuff. This is what a trained cop looks like; requires at least 2-3 hours a week on the mat. Tired of seeing the bullshit we too often see in LE force videos? Then invest in what you want to see.

For my fellow LEOs. Much is being made of Trump’s attending Officer Diller’s funeral. If he truly wanted to honor Officer Diller he should have done so quietly. I ask, in all the years Trump lived in NYC how many LEO funerals did he attend?

We lost an officer to suicide. He was a good guy, good cop. LEOs are 54% more likely to die that way than other occupations. Policing is unhealthy. Before you can clean up the world you have to be able to clean up your bedroom.
