It’s common practice for police around the U.S. to place combative suspects face down and press down on their backs with hands, elbows or knees to gain control.
They aren’t supposed to do it for an “extended period” because that can lead to injuries or death. But what length of time is appropriate?
That question and the face-down method are in the spotlight after police video released last week showed officers in Northern California struggling with a man for more than five minutes as he lay face down.
