Well, what do they teach?

"well, you clench up your hand so you have a fist... Now apply it on the dummy's face. Repeat until it's a bloody pulp."

I'd expect that the academy would at least discuss about anatomy and weak points that can be used to effectively restrain a unruly person. Besides, someone already pointed out that one could just use pepper spray, which is much more benign (long term benefits issues notwithstanding) compared to jolting him.

Also, someone should have had thought of proverb "Too many chefs spoils the broth". I'd bet that if they just had two officer manhandle the guy, they'd do better job than six officers together.
