Bringing Pressure To Bear

The pressure is brought to bear on the unruly individual to encourage him to obey the instructions given by the police officer. In part one of OST (officer safety training) Mr Bill and his colleagues learned how to deal with recalcitrant individuals who might want to cause the officer some harm. A certain amount of pressure applied to one of several specific body sites renders the individual much less troublesome to the officer who is then able to apply handcuffs. They all practised on each other – generally you are at a disadvantage if you are small and light – so Mr Bill did pretty well. However one young lady found one particular hold, ‘the goose neck’, performed on the thumb and wrist was quite effective.
Mr Bill being such a well-built chap, of course, everyone wanted to floor him so he is a bit bruised and battered –not quite sure how he got it but he seems to have a Chinese burn or something similar on his arm.
All the little Bill’s were keen to see all the moves and try them out so it was rather noisy with the realistic shouting of the ‘officer’ and the yelling of the ‘thug’ – along with the laughing and shouting of the audience. Just as well we have such understanding neighbours.
