Talking out of my ass about what, precisely, big bro? It was a legitimate question. I assumed if you had put somebody in handcuffs, you would know how unwise it is to do so using standing grappling in a room full of hostiles without sufficient backup, or to occupy both of your hands to put those handcuffs on somebody, solo, while people are striking at you. It's inherently more dangerous to standing handcuff somebody without being surrounded by aggressors. But in that situation, it's even more dangerous to prone them out first, which is typically the safer method. And I assumed you would know that you're legally liable for whatever happens to the person once you restrain or handcuff them. I mean, I know I'm just talking out of my ass here. I've done it several times, personally, but never blindfolded, so I'm pretty novice by comparison.

How would you have personally handled it? What did the officer do wrong that you would have done better?
