"Distraction Strikes" - That's a new one on me.

When the officer later found and confronted Preston, things quickly got out of control, as seen on the home surveillance video.

“He confronted Preston, asked Preston to sit down. You can see he sits down. The police came over and threw his scooter and got in his face,” Wolf described. “Preston got scared, and that’s when he got up and the officer felt the need to throw him to the ground, and then straddle him and punch him directly in the face.”

Police say the officer had used “distraction strikes to overcome resistance.”

Audio from the video also captured the officer warning Preston, “You are going to get hurt. Don’t make me hurt you more.”

I think this was what my older brother called the "Stop hitting yourself!" technique.

But really, "Distraction Strikes"?

Is this a legitimate thing? Of just an excuse to give someone a distraction concussion?

Kind of like "the best sex is after you kill someone" said to a room of police trainees in Iowa by Dave Grossman of "Killology." Warrior philosophy of policing.

They are trained to be violent and aggressive and view the people they are supposed to protect and serve as scary terrorists.

Trained as an occupying force to control to submission, instead of communication and cooperation. Not to mention trained to commit assault and kidnapping without regard to actual laws because of qualified immunity.

I'm struck by distraction many times throughout the day
