Police officer choked by suspect, is saved by backup

This police officer is outmatched in hand to hand combat and could have been strangled to death if backup didn’t arrive. He is also lucky that the suspect wasn’t able to apply a more effective choke earlier, otherwise there would have been plenty of time to strangle unconscious and murder the officer.

This video demonstrates that guns are not a trump card and can potentially be overcome even by a person who is unarmed. It is also important to recognise that grappling skills in this specific situation represent the only way to survive.

Two bouncers knock out two people with punches, slaps

Excessive force on behalf of the bouncers, and idiocy on behalf of the drunks who initiated with aggressive posturing and continued to approach after it was obvious they were outmatched.

The first bouncer kicks his downed opponent in the groin after he falls. The second slaps him down again when he gets up and refuses to leave. A friend attempts to intervene and is punched.

Russian power-lifter killed in street fight with amateur MMA fighter

A power lifter is knocked out by an amateur MMA fighter, falling on a hard surface which resulted in his death. What begins as nothing more than a contest of egos ends with severe consequences.

Small man has confrontation with smaller man, is knocked out by two much larger men

The exact circumstances of this situation are uncertain, but it appears that the white male may have had someone kind of disagreement with the very short black male. The other two much larger black males then attacked him in a fairly excessive way.

Engaging in confrontations with unknown persons always carries this kind of risk. It’s doubtful the white male would have ended up in this situation if he knew the smaller man had friends.

Man attempts bite on ground and is beaten unconscious for it

Gaining top position on the ground creates a significant advantage. It is very difficult to escape or retaliate from there, even with “dirty” tactics. In this instance, the person on the bottom cannot escape so attempts to bite, which only escalates the aggression of the other man who then beats him terribly.

Bystanders choose not to intervene, deciding that the beating is justified. If the man had not announced that the other had bitten him, they may have felt and acted differently. The opinion of bystanders is paramount and they need to be communicated with for this reason.
