Police Department In Marietta, Georgia Makes BJJ Training Mandatory

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is often suggested as a way to help police officers stay safe while also teaching them the techniques they need to keep suspects safe when making an arrest. The hope, of course, is to reduce LEO injuries and fatalities and make the officers less likely to use lethal tactics...

Interesting. Someone that is trained can definitely have an advantage.

I'd be down with that for unarmed suspects.

That is not going to help one fucking bit in the current climate. Dislocate somebody's elbow. Screams of police brutality will echo the country, lawsuit, and prosecution. And God help us if a barely trained cop in the heat of the moment holds that choke for a couple seconds too long.

I like this idea for police training. It will give officers a non-lethal fighting edge against your average street dirtbag. The only problem is if they come up against someone that is highly trained in Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun. Then there is a fair probability that the cop ends up on the losing end of the hand-to-hand combat situation.

People with good physical skills and the confidence that comes with it, don't panic and shoot folks full of holes unnecessarily.
