Is that a good price for a waffle machine?

Now selling flower waffles!
Ya know. Those kinda look like pussies...
They're flowers. See? Says so on the sign.
Can I see the catalog you bought the machine from?
No. I... Lost it...

Not too sure about that. Who's got who there? Probably work for drunks, but I don't know about the strong, motivated, and possibly armed.

They were specifically designed to do exactly that, though proper technique requires more than one restrainer I bet. This idea hails from the feudal times, when the people who were being restrained often carried edged weapons, google sasumata.

Still around today because the concept is sound, and I would wager the leg specific abilities make it very effective. It's why bolo projecting devices are being developed here for cops. Mobility gone = game over. I don't think it matters how strong or motivated you are if you get your legs bound with a kevlar binding, your ass is going on the ground.

Guns complicate things, but if the suspect has a knife or something that'd be very, very effective. There's a reason polearms were the tool of choice for guards for millennia; they let you outrange assailants easily.
