Sadly I do agree in the days of old the police were trained to remove people without clubs pulling by the hair it was done with your hands. It was a part judo and combat judo. I had many people who said" You can't arrest me", and they got arrested without going to the Hospital. POLICE have fallen victims of poor training. Steven Segel (sp?) was on TV training some yahoos in Miss in the same technician moves that I was tought We were taught CCC Command, Control, Confine.I knew there was a problem with excessive force at the LAPD when I read that they had violently broken up a pro-life rally. They were dragging women up the stairs by their hair. They covered up their badges with black tape so they could not be identified by their victims. I read about this in the pro-life press, but the mainstream media did not report the story, because the victims were pro-lifers, and the media had no problem with excessive force against pro-lifers. But when the victim was a black man, and it got caught on video, suddenly excessive force at the LAPD was a story the media would tell. But by then, of course, it was too late to heal all the damage the LAPD had caused over the years in the black community.Yes I remember the riots and thought they were stupid. the things that I remembered was the King thing started over a Female Highway Patrol pulled the large person over. I disagreed that four LEOs had to jump him. I was a Deputy Sgt at the time and I had my guys do the following. Pull the suspect over order him out of the car, if he refused call for backup. This means that only two to the scene, if that does not work call for more backup until you talk him down. Most of the time a tazar in the hands of a LEO will work. I hated the clubbing we never carried them. But you post was right on target.I am not going to Trump rallies, so none of this affects me personally so far. But I remember it like yesterday when the Rodney King riots broke out and Los Angeles descended into complete chaos. Things were quiet in Pasadena, where I lived, but only because the Pasadena Police went on 12 and 12 watches, with no time off allowed, to maximize police presence on the streets. Had the Los Angeles Police acted in a similar manner, the riots would probably been avoided. But the LAPD actually evacuated from the riot epicenter, and allowed it to spread. By the time it was over, 50 people were dead, hundreds of buildings were burned down, and nothing useful had been accomplished. They bravely said they would rebuild LA, but riot damaged areas do not get rebuilt. Businesses can't rebuild because no one will sell them fire insurance after a riot. So riot destroyed buildings stay empty and boarded up, forever.
