I'll give him credit for gumption, but I could see him as a detriment in a fight to arrest someone.

Perhaps his strength lies in deescalation

All one needs is, a 4 to 6# of trigger pull.

Excellent post. I'd couldn't see myself joining the police academy but I'd love to do USMC boot camp again! With what I know now I would kick ass! I may not be able to do the three mile run in less than eighteen minutes any longer but the pull ups, sit ups and force marches would be no big deal.
