Conservatives in office don’t do shite. The issue is that Democrats pass legislation to push their agenda and Republicans sit there and try to maintain and not push too hard in either direction. Conservatives need to aggressively undo liberal policies when they’re elected.

But that being said, both parties are one and the same and establishment Republican “conservatives” know exactly what they’re doing, and it isn’t pushing conservatism.

My grandma said this all the time before she died. She felt that women’s suffrage opened the door to identity politics and that women are easily manipulated by emotional/shock value arguments, which I tend to agree with.

He’s not talking about you, EKG. It’s undeniable that women in Austin, Houston, and Dallas are overwhelmingly trending blue

It takes about 5 minutes to kill someone with a tight choke FWIW. There’s a lot of misinformation out there on how lethal chokes are. That’s why there’s never been a documented case of someone being accidentally choked to death doing BJJ, Judo, or MMA. You’d have to be trying extremely hard to kil them and no one intervene for an extended period of time which isn’t realistic

Coming from someone that’s been accidentally choked unconscious, it’s 1000000x more humane to be choked out and see TV static for a few seconds then wake up confused than it is to have your AC joint separated/rotator cuff shredded/humerus and forearm broken/etc by an Americana or Kimura.

Kinda sucks that police higher ups aren’t taking the time to research these things before they make life altering decisions for their subordinates.

That’s really interesting, thanks for the detailed answer :cheers:

Not one time have we ever been taught any kind of choke hold

What exactly is the rationale behind this? A perp can fight through a severely fricked up joint, especially if they’re high or drunk, but they can’t fight through being choked out.

Teaching y’all guillotines and RNC’s would be safer for all parties involved and probably save a life for two each year by ending the fight immediately instead of putting y’all in a position of “ok I just shredded this guy’s shoulder with an Americana (or paint brush or whatever y’all call it) but he’s still fighting and trying to grab my gun, what now?”

That leather is cheap, and they probably paid $10,000 a chair for them :lol: also looks like it’d be a pain in the arse to put your shoes on with the weird waterslide design of the chairs

You should actually look into the bodily processes that go into passing out from a choke. It’s insanely safe to be choked unconscious unless you have an aneurism or a stroke which is rare.

Next time that you get a RNC or guillotine applied to you, notice that you feel like your head is going to explode from a blood pressure spike, not like you’re being deprived of blood. That’s because a chokehold actually makes your intracranial blood pressure rise (not drop like most people believe), and your body responds by dialating the blood vessels in your brain to equalize what it’s perceiving as your body’s blood pressure going haywire. Long story short, you pass out because of the sudden blood pressure drop in your skull as a result of your body dilating those blood vessels.

Very safe, very temporary, isn’t really affected by other health conditions in the body. Thought the BJJ guys on this board would find that interesting, I certainly did

ETA: it also takes about 5 minutes extra of having a chokehold applied while you’re unconscious to die. It’s hard as frick to kill someone with one
