Baton strikes and arm/wrist grab attempts ineffective.
Category: Wristlock/grab
4 police fail to control 1 man
A bystander initially approaches the man from behind while he is focused on the police, grabs him around the waist and effectively takes him to the ground. Police move in, then escort the bystander away and attempt to control the man with arm/wrist holds. When they fail at this and the man struggles free, they deploy their batons and strike him several times to little effect. The man eventually is able to walk away and the police follow behind by the end of the video.
Police takedown with headlock from back
Three police grab both wrists of man and are unable to effect a takedown until a fourth officer grabs the man around the neck from behind and pulls him to the ground.
Bystanders assist arrest with effective control
A police officer struggles to arrest a man by wrist control alone. Two bystanders intervene and clinch with the man around the upper body. One of the former bystanders transitions to control the legs, and together execute a very effective takedown and control of the man. Throughout the takedown, the police officer continues to attempt some kind of wrist/arm control.

Police OC Spray and baton ineffective against drunk man
Pain compliance (OC spray and baton) are ineffective against this man, and the police involved lack the skills/ability to physically control him. Backup arrives to assist, but it appears that the man could have overpowered the two police officers in the meantime had he decided to.
