Old Police Baton Training Film

Baton training "back in the day" - classic.

[@johnnywishbone932]

I was an instructor for a department that used ASP batons. As a former Millwright I pointed out how friction locks were not able to stand vibration. They use Monadnock Autolock batons now. ASP was and still is a serious weapon. I skilled user could easily take out multiple attackers with ease. I still have a soft spot for the old ASP 26”. It’s served me well. ❤

I have the 26" ASP since 1999. I used sucessfully many times, including to control jail mutins. The friction lock failure is easily solved cleaning the baton with a good degreaser. Most lock failures are caused by lubrification or cleaning with WD-40 or similar.

i feel some of these techniques should be taught and used today, specifically control techniques.

Really good luck that those two guys at 1:05 both got appendicitis at the same time

I was waiting for the Keystone Cops to pull up and jump out the Patty wagon

Don't forget to "grasp his garment", if you know what I mean.

Ah, the good old days, when “police brutality” was a technique, not a complaint.
