When I was an Officer at L.A. COUNTY METRO, we had great training. I was digging through some old pics and found these. The first is of my partner and I going into full-contact "redman" scenario training. Alot of the officers were frightened by this - they were told that Redman scenario training teaches you how to respond when "you're losing a fight". They would PT the hell out of us until we were gassed out - then have us take on the biggest guy they could cram into the "redman" armor. I was smiling the whole time - some thought I had lost it.
I just knew that the "biggest guy" weighed down with redman armor equals one top heavy individual...
