“What it allows us to do is use lesser amounts of force,” Butler said.
Marietta Police Department in Georgia said their officers who were trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu saw a 23% drop in taser use, a 48% drop in injuries to officers using force and a 53% drop in injuries to the person being arrested.

âLaughing Wildâ is a hilarious blast-from-the-1980s comedy by Christopher Durang, whom the New Yorker called âone of the funniest men in the world.â The play, in three parts, stars a man and a woman struggling to cope with life in modern America. Over the course of two monologues and a chance meeting inside of a dream, the characters take on everything from the supermarket to nu
