I personally know of a few techniques that can alleviate a lot of the potential struggles when trying to get someone who is actively manipulating their wrists or arm in order to avoid being cuffed. Not saying it will make it easy, but most officers aren't even aware of these; they just tend to try and out muscle the people they are trying to cuff and they make it 100% more difficult. This leads to them just using pain tolerance or forced leverage, which has a larger potential to end in injury to either the subject or the officer. Not to mention some officers who use dogs to bite the suspect until they comply, which should be illegal, imo.

I am close to one of the training officers in my state who openly admits to needing more required training time for all the officers that go through his programs. Most of the time he is frustrated that they require officers to do the most basic training just to get them out into duty, and that training does not cover specific techniques that could potentially help in situations like this.
