@LenaLeenaa420 This shows how professional fighters can be caught off guard when the rules of the ring are not followed on the streets.
He is fortunate that those men were not fully committed to their eye, throat, and liver strikes.
Bullets don’t “knock down” anyone.
They simply stab people from a distance.
That’s why anatomical shot placement & follow up shots are so important to induce the CNS destruction and/or hypovolemic shock required to neutralize the target.
Caliber & casing only increase the depth and/or the width of the wound.
@WorkingCdns The LCBO does contract plainclothes security detail who specialize in arresting shoplifters.
It looks like that particular store didn’t have any of them working that day, or chose instead to use uniformed security as a deterrent.
@ezralevant I worked 20 years ago on that contract under Group 4 Security (G4S).
So yes they do employ plainclothes security officers specifically for arresting shoplifters.
Obviously though, the uniformed guard in that video has little to no arrest/use of force training or experience.
@jamesfburnett I worked as a plainclothes security officer at the LCBO before I was hired to join the RCMP.
Our job was specifically to arrest shoplifters.
Did the LCBO change their security protocols?
@IanRunkle I don’t understand why the LCBO had uniformed security guards without plainclothes security officers who specialize in the arrest of shoplifters.
@IanRunkle@cselley I was a plainclothes security officer at the LCBO in Toronto before I started my career with the RCMP 20 years ago.
That would have been an easy arrest for our crew back in the day.
Does the LCBO not use plainclothes security to deal with shoplifting anymore?
Slick move. I think that particular movement has excellent utility in a dynamic multiple attacker scenario.
The liver strike as depicted on the transverse rotational plane will tend to deliver the result as depicted (think about the boxer’s liver shot)
Just a couple of things to keep in mind:
1. Keep your feet moving, while scanning for more targets.
2. Transfer the totality of your body weight into the precise target (liver, solar plexus, etc). It’s tough to do in a straight line. Ideally, the victim is slightly offset to the left if striking with the right elbow (vice versa if striking with the left elbow)
3. As you penetrate and rotate through the strike, use the tensile contracted strength of your legs in the low/crouch position to explode upwards/forwards into your next strike.
The effect depicted in this video only works if the knee is already at full extension.
A leading knee by definition is never extended. Only the lagging knee is fully extended.
However, when weight is balanced forward, a front push kick to the lagging knee will only send the entire leg backwards.
To actually be in a position to “break” the knee joint as depicted, the victim would have to be moving backwards—for instance trying to maintain footing if pushed/tipped/slipped/struck backwards.
NEW: Ring unveils new patrol drone and robot to surveil homes and businesses by flying room to room.
The drone is able to fly back to its charging station on its own after patrolling around the home.
Here are some more details on the drone and robot:
- Patrol drone costs $250.
- Patrol rover costs $1000.
- The drone can fly for up to 8 minutes at a time.
- The drone has 148-degree peripheral vision and can quickly rotate 360 degrees to identify threats.
- Both require a subscription fee of $5 per month.
"For years, customers told us they wanted eyes in the places a fixed camera couldn’t reach, and peace of mind in the spots they’d never want one," said Ring founder Jamie Siminoff.
"The honest answer wasn’t more cameras; it meant reimagining what a security device could be. That kind of invention is hard, and it takes time."
"But we kept at it until we got it right and that’s Ring Robotics. It’s not just a new category of security; it’s the beginning of a future where proactive, autonomous protection is something every home and every business can have."
