I saw @bigscboy’s slam on @tonyhawk’s vert ramp and it gave me a #flashback to mine at the @bellevueskatepark. The ramp was only 9’ and I’m not 300lbs, but it was as unpleasant as it looked!

I slammed, got up, was told I’d “be fine” by @moormansmenu, tried again, and slammed again! 😂😂 My entire left side was bruised but I never missed work and even ran some relay races at the Boys & Girls Club the next day. 9 months later with some great coaching and encouragement from the guys, I finally got it.

Takeaways: If you never try you’ll never know! 🛹🚔🤙🏽 #tbt #police #streetplantbattalion #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #skatelikeacop **our holsters have several retentions and our firearm has internal safeties which make a discharge from impact not possible.**🙏🏽 📹 @mewnyewnit

McKeesport, PA. In the press conference it was reported that the suspect slipped his cuffs to the front sometime after the arrest and during the transport and that he had a gun somewhere on his person.

Prior to the shooting, the suspect was served with a protection order that he allegedly violated twice after being served. He was contacted and arrested for the violations in his vehicle and was combative during the arrest. A firearm was recovered inside his vehicle Incident to arrest.

Officer Geriasimos Athens was shot in the neck and torso and returned fire. They do not believe the suspect was shot. Ofc Athens is in stable condition. The suspect is still at large.

Video is from the McKeesport Police station.

So much focus on what is wrong in our line of work but rarely commending officers like @arndtucool for seeking out training and wanting to improve. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there 🙏🏽🇺🇸🚔🤙🏽 #police #selfdefense #armdrag #weaponretention #fitness #trainweeklyorfightweakly

#tbt when @nateorch10p kindly stopped by our station and demonstrated the #kotegaeshi on @larryperreira along with other awesome techniques.

-Nate hitting the technique in a Combat Jiu-Jitsu match a few weeks ago.

-Larry practicing with Raph.

-Larry trying to hit the kote gaeshi on Nate. 😂

Who else can relate to the gap between learning and mastery of a technique? 🙋🏽‍♂️ Day by day 🥋🤙🏽

Gross motor movements and fine motor skills. Vertical jump / 5 #pullups / 2 speed reloads. 5 sets. Uniform + gear = 20lbs/9kgs. Very difficult. Day by day. 🙏🏽🤙🏽 #police #fitness #workout #trainweeklyorfightweakly #aiea #oahugrown

Closing the distance and some takedowns in uniform. Observations: I noticed that when I performed the rear takedown I would ideally initiate it with my body positioned on the right side of the person. If I’m on the left side, it means sitting /rolling over my gun-side hip and that was possible, but very uncomfortable because of the gun and holster. Good to know beforehand! I’m very thankful to have coworkers and friends who allow me to experience what works and what doesn’t in training. Day by day. 🙏🏽🤙🏽 #police #selfdefense #jiujitsu #graciesurvivaltactics #trainweeklyorfightweakly #aiea #oahugrown

Some of my takeaways:

-In confined space (like a hallway) you will get cut significantly if you remain standing.

-Running away temporarily prevents you from getting cut but it obviously does not stop the threat.

-You can get off the X by changing your level if you can’t move laterally.

-When I shot from my back using my feet as wedges I would typically get at least two (sometimes 3) shots to the upper chest/neck/face for every cut. Sometimes I was not cut at all.

-Performing a traditional #jiujitsu / #judo break fall by using the hands to slap the mats may give you a training scar. Sgt @dongulla spoke on this being particularly problematic when you have a gun in your hand. Breakfalls can be done effectively without using your arms.

-A front kick or teep (for me) still resulted in getting cut due to my short legs 😂.

No matter what you do this is still a crappy situation. Huge mahalo to @kai_ozeki and @shaan_brar for letting me troubleshoot this. 🙏🏽🥋🚔🤙🏽

@kendrick5o & @_reeseanthony_ made that day extra special. #happybirthday to Safine! #police #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #streetplantbattalion

I first saw this in @dongulla’s Arrestling course about 10 years ago and my mind was like 🤯🤯🤯. Although this is a very unlikely scenario I thought it was a brilliant way to get your head off the line from a bad position. @_reeseanthony_ picked it up quick.🥋🚔🇺🇸🤙🏽 #police #jiujitsu #shrimpingainteasy #firearms #trainweeklyorfightweakly #aiea #oahugrown

Thanks to my friend and firearms coach @buliwyf_actual I got to test out the strength of a spare @safarilandgroup 7520 7TS SLS EDW #holster for the X26P Taser on a spare belt. He didn’t recommend doing this on my duty belt because the cumulative wear and tear would eventually add up. I applied about 150-167lbs / 68kg – 75.75kgs of tension for about 1 min 30 seconds and it seems to hold up without any problems. Stay safe out there. 🙏🏽🤙🏽 #police #training #fitness #pullups #trainweeklyorfightweakly
