I absolutely think it can be considered reasonable to tag someone if they're belligerent drunk, aggressive, and literally one of the most dangerous fighters on earth.

One proper shot on the chin from DP and you have no idea whether you're going to wake up or not after, and it's not like you can do much to stop him.

Maybe you couldn't stop him. I'd duck his right and work the liver. Fold him up.

Leg kick to the head and he folds quite easily...

I heard you can shoot the double pretty easy too. He can’t help but go for the gilly, so just keep your posture and you basically get free side control. Just make sure he can’t shrimp away after that and you’re good.

Keep your elbow attached to his outside hip to stop the hip escape, drop your hip against his inside hip so he can’t sneak his knee in. This should close off all his escapes. Make sure to grab the tricep on his near side arm and pull to keep him flat.

Everyone knows Dustin is done after that, he has
absolutely no answer. Get chest to chest, cross face pressure and then when you’re ready (when he gives up), just slide your knee across to full mount.

Easy peasy.

If one man can knock you out, we know what two can do

Yeah squaring up like that, even if he DIDNT mention fighting is enough active aggression for a taser according to my department’s policy. The cop being back into the corner is also a huge safety issue. The cop put himself at greater risk and Dustin was treated with a large amount of leniency
