This wasn't a tackle...it was a takedown MMA style.



This clip is going viral and everyone is talking about the cop having great tackling skills.  Some are even saying that he should be drafted.

They're wrong.

That's a double leg takedown.  That's an MMA move.  Additionally check out  what he does once he has the guy on the ground (a move where he delivered the full blow by planting the guy into the concrete)...he moves into a full mount.  If the guy didn't surrender immediately we were looking at a ground and pound from hell.

Ok.  To me this is good news.  The cops are training.  They're learning at least basic, modern fighting techniques and that means a more professional force.  This isn't good news.  Its great news.
