This is addressed to anyone who has knowledge and training in restraining suspects.
Look at the photo posted at here.
Is this a standard restraining technique for cuffed, prone suspects? Is there a name for this maneuver? Who teaches it?
I know LAPD was banned several years back from employing a chokehold, and there are guidelines specifying approved restraining techniques. Does anyone know of any reviewed and approved guidelines recommending the technique being employed in the photo, and if so, can you tell us the agencies that use it or provide documentation to substantiate it is a common and safe practice?

yeah, thanks, ED, but I just don't have the time to track down and research links. I'm looking for someone with knowledge to verify if this is or is not a known and approved rerstraint technique.
Isn't that a "For-your-own-good Waco hold?" After all, it's all about officer safety.
Former Copper here.
That isn't a method of restraint that I was ever taught/ever seen.
An officer should never but their boot, knee, etc. on someone's neck.
The proper method would've been to come in at a direction from said suspect's head and use the knee to apply pressure to the suspect's shoulder blade/base of neck/upper back area to keep him immobile.
That pic looks entirely wrong.
(But what do you expect from the BATFE...)
