This video explains that a palm heel strike, not a punch, was used in a scenario, and discusses its legality under use of force guidelines. It references the Supreme Court cases Graham v.

This analysis, presented by John Correia of Active Self Protection, breaks down a law enforcement encounter in Volusia County, Florida, where a suspect escalated from passive to active resistance, ultimately escaping in a vehicle.

The video highlights the importance of specialized training like BJJ or Judo for officers facing physical confrontations.
