Thank God for Firefighters
One night while on patrol in a small town, I pulled over a car which was all over the road and had driven the wrong way down a one-way street. We had stopped in the parking lot of a local restaurant popular with members of our volunteer fire department. The driver, who reeked of booze and almost fell out of the car, was cooperative until I tried to put the cuffs on him and the fight was on. Rolling around on the ground with this asshole quickly became tiring. My nearest backup was at least fifteen minutes off, I couldn't get to my radio to yell for help and, worse, he didn't seem to be feeling the punches and kicks which I was landing. Just as I was thinking of shooting him, he suddenly disappeared. Half a dozen volunteer firefighters who were having a quiet beer and watching the hockey game saw what was happening, came boiling out of the bar, grabbed the guy and proceeded to kick the shit out of him, finish cuffing him and throw him in the back of my cruiser. Asshole got taken to the hospital for treatment of various injuries including a broken nose and a couple of cracked ribs then went directly to jail, charged with a whole raft of offences. I was sore for a few days after but didn't have anything broken. If it hadn't been for those "hose jockeys" it might have ended very differently. Thanks, guys.

So...
... you and a bunch of your wee pals assaulted someone, and now you're all proud of yourself?

How exactly does that make you any better than the guy you locked up?

Carry the handcuffs around on the job for a while then come back and try your answer again
Taking down a drunk who doesn't want to go to jail isn't exactly a cake walk.

Not sure that
"he didn't seem to be feeling the punches and kicks which I was landing"
is in the manual for safely restraining someone. Unless he was in th CHP in which case I'm guessing it's standard practice.

Rather predictable,
wasn't it?

Genuinely can't tell if this is a parody or not.

So your story is "I should never have been accepted into the police force"?
