Totally exhausted again today. We had to “pay” for someone leaving their radio at the gym by performing squats, pushups and leg lifts. Then it was rear wristlock-supported cuffings, takedowns and more hand-cuffing after that. I was handcuffed about thirty or forty times today and with my wrists, my arms were usually cranked up between my shoulder blades.
Then it was one to cell extraction simulations. I was the “shield man”, carrying a Plexiglas shield with which I pinned the inmate to the wall while my wingmen pinned his arms to the wall. On the next simulation, I was “leftwing” and captured the inmate’s right arm in a front wristlock, and he sent me flying out of the cell. Very tough day. Cuts and bruises everywhere. Bloody knees, wrists are all chopped up from handcuffing, matburn on my forehead and generally had the **** beaten out of me all day. Written exam on Use of Force at 0830, then practical exam where I have to demonstrate all the various locks and handcuffing techniques. Very tired. Discouraged. But only one more week.
I’ll make it.
