Excellent form, take notes
Low center, wide stance, come in head down at gut level and lift. Ya love to see it in the wild.
How did this turn out?
Popo on his ass

Any non-Facebook link?

this just works if the guy with the stick doesn’t hit the other guy on the head with it, which the stick guys will learn to do next time from this
sadly I’m guessing after this there were many other stick guys and while he managed to tank the first guy his stats / armor weren’t high enough to fight off the horde

Nice! I don’t have Facebook but I’m happy to hear that he was able throw down and get away
Cause he’s charging in with his shield up he’s basically given the defendant a shield too, you can even see he ducks down shield side.
The baton can only really hit his left side, but he’s probably in panic mode and not able to swing as he goes airborne.
That said, there’s probably more shieldly stick boi ready to be cunts and mess this hero up.

Sadly, the police officer got back up.

Anyone have a link to the video? All I’m able to dig up is that dude throwing a can at some cops and getting spear-tackled by a bootlicker.

Do they teach them nothing? Cop doesn’t even try to sprawl.
If thry could learn, they wouldn’t be cops.
that’s offensive. and if those cops could read, they’d be very upset.

damn we gotta see more of this
That cop probably fractured his tailbone on that tackle dayum
Its tailbone. Objects aren’t typically gendered in english.
But the person the object belongs to is generally gendered. ‘His’ is a possessive pronoun in this instance
Cops aren’t people. They’re objects, tools if you want to be specific.
I can’t believe you ratioed me with this nonsense.
Yeah it’s kind of nonsense that we spend most of every municipal budget on such shitty tools.
Also, gentle corrections to non-native speakers are cool; i always appreciate them in languages I’m tryinh to pick up; i expect that will continue even when im to the point you’re at where you only fuck up on the occasional weird rule or idiom.
But the joke was great, you missed it, and he explained it while keeping it funny. Ratio was deserved.
If a bat is coming towards you, ducking might not be the best approach…

No. Moving away is only ok if you really put some distance between the two, otherwise you’re still within reach – it’s a baton, not a fist or knife.

No, you’re flat out wrong, the bat is moving in a rotational motion and increasing in speed as it rotates because the wielder won’t be putting any stopping force until they are past the point they intend to strike. This rotational motion, where the farthest point from the fulcrum (shoulder) has the most force. Meaning if you are in range, the farther out you are, the harder you get hit. You must be able to get out of range in order for backing away to be effective, otherwise you get hit harder.
You’re only correct if it’s thrown, and if you’re this close, it won’t make a difference.
I love the word fulcrum. I dont know what it means but it’s beautiful :3
It’s the bit in the center that holds up the teeter totter. The axis of rotation in a lever.

No, try reading the other 90% of my comment.

Think about it as just a really long pole on a rotating shaft. The further you are away from the center of rotation the faster the pole is moving at that point. That’s why really long swords are more powerful (though harder to wield) than shorter ones, even if they’re the same mass. If you get hit by the tip of the sword it transfers a lot more energy than near the hilt.
Another way to think about it is it hurts a lot more to get hit by the fist when someone punches than if you get really close and are only hit by their shoulder.
They’re saying the hit is coming from the side. I’m not an expert, can’t zpeak to the truth of it, but you’re being obtuse.

In this specific case it’s better to move in. Even better if the fist ends past your back.

By all means do try your “elementary physics” in real life, I beg you. Film it too if possible.
Not american btw, nor easily offended if that was the point.deleted by creator
That isn’t how attacking with batons work. They come from the side because it’s rotational, not linear. If they’re stabbing at you, sure. But they aren’t.

Call.
show me the elementary school science experiment that demonstrates whatever unspecified physical principle you pointedly didn’t refer to

I’m routinely surprised by just how confidentiality wrong a lot of Lemmy users are about pretty basic things. Like at least on reddit, those people would get corrected and buried in most sane boards at least, but here there seems to be an abundance of those who just want to be incorrect about dumb shit
how confidentiality wrong a lot of Lemmy users are
shh it’s a secret, he said confidently.
Wow, so many fancy words… how about angular momentum?
And including the length of the baton and the radius of the trajectory?
Is the impact stronger if hit near the base of the baton or its extremity?Please, get someone to hit you with one under these scenarios, you know, for science.

So if an object in motion with the force of 1 newton hits an object at rest that’s 1 newton of force applied, yes? Now if the object instead hits an object also in motion with 0.5 newton, will the first object hit it with 1 or 0.5 newton?
I asked for the experiment or the name of the physical principle. edit: because he specifically said they teach this in elementary school… I didn’t just pull that out of a hat… also they don’t teach impulse-momentum theory in elementary school…
deleted by creator
Yeah and that was not the answer you got but an example. Do you follow why the baton would not hit as hard if you moved away? 😄
Impulse.
