A noncomliant subject that is intoxicated. What this officer did was well within the limits of use of force. The mear fact that the subject was not doing exactly what the officer was instructing is enough to warrent the action taken. Drunk subjects are difficult at best when they are like that guy. He may have been asking why, but he was still resisting. I agree that LEos need better training on physical restraint techniques, but in our lawyerized society, these are seen as too harsh by the lawyers, not the guys on street who need them. However he chose to resolve the situation, he still resolved it within the limits of his legal power to do so.
