I would never say it’s safe to restrain people- even the very best training and execution can have terrible outcomes.
But I’d damn sure rather have trained folks give it a go (instead of tazer-wielding police zapping the shit out of the person).
I’ve had my ass kicked restraining someone- and it was zero fun. I’d still rather get banged up a bit myself than have a group of assholes treat a person like this.
