You couldn't be more wrong. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. How does you being in the Navy have anything to do with law enforcement training? You have no knowledge of law enforcement defensive tactics.
In regards to this video....I'm not so sure that the elbow was the Deputies best option at that point. There are other options available if he needed to distract her or to move her off balance. The female Deputy should be reprimanded for standing there like a limp wristed piece of shit.
While getting into a fight in a bus may sound like loads of fun...It's not. The woman was clearly displaying violent tendencies in the video. At that point they were attempting to place her under arrest lawfully. She was disorderly and resisting arrest. How close would I let someone get to my face before I get them out of it? Not that close! But again, the elbow may have been a tad premature.
Just my honest/professional/experienced/trained opinion based upon the information available.
One of my collateral duties is ASF Auxiliary security forces, we patrol base armed in marked cars and ride along with federal police. Ive completed California's POST academy very recently so I think I'm somewhat qualified to say neither I nor My brother in law that works for City of Miami PD or my other Brother in law that works for Indian Creek PD Have ever been instructed that a useful tactic to take down someone being non compliant is to pull back and swing at them in the face with a close fist,and yes he did ball his fist and swing at her face his arm ran the distance of her face and was caught by his elbow, you will most likely hurt yourself worse than your going to hurt someone that is that pissed off. Until the point of the swing the female officer was holding her by the back and the male officer had control of both her fist.
