I'm asking....if a 250 pound adult male is going for a cops gun....how should academies teach defending that?
How about by not letting them get that close? Is that an option or is the only option one that goes Boom-boom?
Ah....YES. That's called the reactionary gap. Academies teach that it's about 10 feet. Any closer...and a fight is inevitable.
So when cops say Get Back...that's why.
Now....if a person charges you in a dead sprint....you have about 1.5 seconds to react. Your life may depend on it.
So....how do you propose not letting an unarmed person "get that close"??? Tasers are a great tool....and often are the answer. But as you pointed out in the Michigan case....inside of a few feet tasers aren't effective.
So...a 250 pound skinhead is charging...too close for taser. He's already made one grab towards the gun. Your daughter is the cop. What should she be taught to do?
