Today’ Stunning Technology
There was a time when the citizenry actually respected the law, and for cops, verbal compliance was pretty much the order of the day. Sadly, society and attitudes have changed — some for the better but many, especially for law enforcement, for the worse. When I grew up in South Africa, formerly a colony of the British Empire, police weren’t even armed with handguns. The common weapon was a long wooden baton, a pair of handcuffs coupled with a really sour disposition (PC for shitty attitude) and a propensity to wield the baton at the least sign of “lip” or resistance. It was no wonder they consistently received compliance from the locals by using verbal commands.

Everything You Need To Know To Choose The Right Handheld Flashlight
Small high-intensity handheld lights haven’t only spawned a whole new industry, but have given us cops relief from carrying those heavy, large, anemic-output “police” flashlights, a much longer range of dark space that we can now reach into and a whole new subject control tool. Almost any small high-intensity light you buy today will work reasonably well and will certainly do so if your comparison point is the Kel-Lights of yore. But there are real differences in today’s products — some matter while some don’t.

Over the past months I’ve reviewed almost two dozen video clips of officers dealing with resisting suspects. For the officers involved, the outcomes ranged from bruises and lacerations to life-long disabilities. For the suspects, the outcomes ranged from minor bruises to death.
Given the levels of suspect resistance in the preliminary stages of engagement, none of the officers should have suffered more than incidental bruising and perhaps some muscle strain. Given the opportunities and openings the suspects offered to the cops, in my opinion, none of the suspects should have suffered anything more significant than intense temporary pain, moderate bruising and some road-contact abrasions.

Robert Lyn White had a plan, but not a clue, when he burglarized the Southside Laundry in Elko, Nevada. The well-known 52-year old local resident knew the place was monitored by six surveillance video cameras, so after he bagged up the rest of his loot, he went from one camera to the next, carefully disconnecting and removing them. He figured since he was stealing the cameras, it didn’t matter if he stared right into ‘em while he was loosening bolts and nuts, doing a little laughing and mugging for the cameras as he worked. He thought he was getting away clean – pardon the pun, okay?
Robert truly couldn’t figure it out when officers showed up at his door soon after the burglary was discovered. How could they have known? He took the cameras! Yeah, but he hadn’t taken the video recorder or the tape which had captured his every twitch and chuckle, close-up and personal. Nevada State Prison may offer a course like, “Understanding Basic Technology 101.”
Just imagine being the officer who patiently explained to him, “Remember those fat cords you unscrewed from the backs of the cameras? See, the pictures kinda squeeze down real skinny, and they flow like water through those tubes, back to this metal box-thingie, and …”

Stairways usually bring to bear two conclusions. “I haven’t been killed on a stairway yet” or “Oh crap — a stairwell.” In reality, think of a stair-well as simply a hallway you might have to move through. They constrict movement and do have unsure footing. The only real quirk of stairwells are the funny corners. Those corners come in the form of overhangs, which are really simply horizontal corners.
The Basics
Keep your muzzle between you and what most threatens you. Don’t project yourself ahead of your eyes by leading with the muzzle, or your ability to see. If the stairwell has a landing, clear the landing area as you get closer by moving the muzzle down — but keeping it between you and the tight corner. Should a short-range fight begin, having the muzzle down is a better place to start, because your arms are stronger in an “up” motion than in a “downward.”

Wilson Combat’s Tactical Carbine is an incredible CQB weapon. It’s ideal in the role of Patrol Rifle, great for Tactical Response Entry Teams and a terrific home defense weapon. It features a flat top receiver for ease of mounting a variety of sighting options and a 16.25" M-4 style heavy barrel with muzzle brake to virtually eliminate recoil and muzzle rise. A precision JP trigger/hammer group has been carefully installed for a crisp 3-3.5 pound trigger pull making it easy to extract the accuracy potential from this precision tactical carbine.
