How did you control people who where defiant and would put up a fight?

Asked by Reed over 5 years ago

If pushes comes to shove you push and shove. Or beat with a club. Or shoot. Use of force is not normally response #1, it causes way too much paperwork to do without good cause. But, if it comes down to it that's what we do.

Asked by Hu? over 5 years ago

There are a great many people in the world I do not like. Since it is illegal to shoot them for being unlikable I just have to avoid them as much as I can.

I have always wonderd why people make so many excuses. Oh they grew up with the wrong people, got with the wrong people (how did they get with them in the first place), etc when many people have the same issues and are great people?

Very few humans are willing to blame their own problems, or the problems of their family, on themselves. Therefore they blame others, or forces beyond their control, to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions. It is human nature. Humans are funny critters.
