carotid hold? The fuck ?
Pretty much a choke holds constricting the blood traveling to your brain. In just a few seconds anyone would lose consciousness.
I know that the carotid is a major artery and that's why I am baffled that this even allowed. Who's training USA police to use such fucked up moves on civilians ? There gotta be far less dangerous moves that can be used to restrain someone.
Entirely agreed on that!
We pay our tax dollars to teach our police officers "killology". It's as bad as it sounds.
Bold of you to assume US police gets training
Forgive my ignorance, what makes it so dangerous?
The first comment under mine pretty much answers it. The carotid artery is the one responsible for giving blood to your head and brain.
I'm not following. If you're talking about cerebral hypoxia, it requires requires oxygen deprivation on the order of minutes, while carotid holds are effective on the order of seconds.
Knocking someone unconscious is always dangerous. More so if you're injecting them with drugs.
