This is a biological fact and one that no amount of "training" can overcome. Cops are human too. If you are flat on your back on the seat of a car getting beat down by a guy who outweighs you by 100 lbs then it is entirely possible that your decision-making is not going to be at its best. The blame for this would rest with the assailant and not with you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
