There was a programme on TV last night where they showed both CCTV and police camera footage of street brawls and robberies in Nottingham, one of the UK's most violent towns. Not one shot of people rolling on the ground grappling there, it was all stand up punch/kick/baseball bat stuff.

There was one lovley bit of CCTV footage - guy in a corner shop threatens the gilr on the till with a large knife. So whole family steam out with bats and lay into him.

As far as the police go - in most cases by the time they got there it had finished. Where it hadn't I still didn't see any ground work. Not to say you shouldn't know how to operate on the ground, but I'm sceptical of that 95% figure.

Cheers
