All we had in my day was a gun and a stick.
That baton got a lot of use.
My Field Training Officer saved my life with her baton. I was brand new. A suspect was going to stab me with a broken bottle when she blocked his attack and broke both of his collar bones with her stick.
Damn, that sounds quite impressive! How did she do that, did she attacked him from the front or how?
This end is for holding, this end is for beating! Welcome to the Department.
I learned the draw strike from Hanbo techniques and love using it with a straight walking stick. It is the "jab" of stick strikes. Great video, I love seeing old training videos, some are better than others but all are a snapshot in time.
Back in the good old days you’d get a hundred job applications when hiring for a policeman. Last hiring event…seven.
Back in the "good old days" police had no Fraternal Order.
Edit: or Qualified Immunity
Back in the good ol days, law enforcement could take care of business
Very effective tool unless the subject is under the influence of angel dust
@@eddiebolt5781 less effective in that case. Not ineffective.
In 2013 we had about 400 applicants for one slot in my town because it was the first time a civil servants exam was even available in 9 years. The guy they hired was in my Company in Afghanistan. He was a weak scrawny undisciplined turd. But... His family was close with the lieutenant in IA doing the hiring. Now? They can't get people to test much less apply. Corrections officers, sheriff's deputies, and policy are recruiting like crazy because all the fat old guys are finally hanging it up. The cops won't investigate anything unless there's a body at room temperature. The local billboards show starting pay rates that are $4 higher than current employees with big bold lettering reading "NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY". Well... Good luck. I'm too old now.
Batton's and the approved techniques of application sure have changed alot in 50 years.
Very different from the training I received for the use of an ASP batton, which I suppose makes sense, since the ASP is a very different weapon. We were taught to maintain a two-handed grip and "strike for the offending limb," that is, whichever arm or leg of the target was closest to you, and/or the one most likely to injure you. Under no circumstances were blows to the head or neck permitted--that was considered deadly force, and if the situation called for deadly force, then it was assumed we'd have a gun rather than baton in hand. Probably a less versatile system than the one shown here, but it had the advantage of being much simpler, more intuitive, and actually less dangerous for the attacker. Ramming the end of baton into a person's chest or stomach is a good way to rupture something important, but broken wrists and cracked knees, while painful, are rarely fatal.
That last scene screamed: “Freedom!!!!” With William Wallace leading the charge 🤣🤣
They almost say charge 😄
Today city council would demand that a deck of playing cards is displayed
Mustache required
The PR24 Is a better weapon to use ...I have used it and NEVER EVER USE IT ON OR IN THE HAND WHERE YOUR WEAPON IS....
Beat your wife much?
"You don't want to hit the offender in the head"
Five minutes later...
"To the jaw, to the groin!"
Granted a hard hit to the jaw won't cause brain damage or anything but once you go from "The head is off limits" to "OK nothing wrong with popping 'em in the jaw a few times" it isn't long until someone is out there cracking skulls. "I was going for his jaw and he moved".
The PR-24 is a much better weapon.
Shame most departments don't allow it anymore.
You could actually block with it.
Let's be careful out there
Was it a matter of chronology or different states that meant you also had the night stick with the side handle?
. I started in the early 80s with the PR24.
Were these still the days of the leather saps and blackjacks?
These days that’s a good way to get your ass kicked ! 🤣
I thought I was watching Reno 911!
Motorola's epilepsy-inducing video logo circa 1970's...
It really seizes ones attention....
I trained police officers in anti baton tactics, after they finished the academy. Martial arts 101, police tactics might not work, there are exceptionally skilled individuals that been military and martial arts trained!
I grew up in that town. It's changed quite a bit in the last 50 years.
Cops now: What's a baton? Where's my gun?
Where’s my vest?
Tak Kubota moves ……
Now with 50% more mustache
whe abouts was the side-handle baton introduced to police forces?
1972
Rambo 1...
Get those purple hair xbox recruits.
Spiderman!
two decades later we see that on the rodney king beating!
They love abusing unarmed people.
Rodney deserved it
Never a more deserving now corpse
@@ivannieves5708
Naw, his wife deserved it. But he wasn't a bad guy, according to two Upland detectives.
4 replies to this comment and I can’t read any of them, were they deleted or something?
Shame police don't use those anymore ( except riot police); a visible symbol of authority, if you were ornery you knew what to expect.
AKA the Brown Guy Beat Stick
I have quite a bit of experience with these as plenty of times law-dawgs have used me for practice!😡🖕!🥃👍...
"An open mouth around the wrong man becomes a bleeding wound" some guy somewhere
I occasionally have to deal with LAPD at my job and all of their nightsticks have had 90 percent of the paint (metal batons of course) "beaten" off. Like it looks like they've hit so many poor people that all the paint is gone. I mention this and they laugh like I said something super funny. That stick is a torture device first and foremost.
You sound like a very prejudiced person. The paint only comes off because of years of carry that involve insertion of the baton into the holder on the utility belt and into the storage slot of the patrol car, followed by removal of the baton when answering a call for service. 🤦♂️🙄
The black guy is thinking "Oh, heck, I've seen this before!" Unjust aggression for a rightful protest in the 60s. (and lately) :(
Can’t watch this channel anymore.
The continuous logo and stupid timer is beyond annoying and distracting.
I can find this information on a myriad of other channels.
Thanks. But no thanks.
This isn’t an airport, no need to announce your departure.
@@brianhumphreys1660 🤣 haha
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous UA-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.
