What, so the police can put anyone they want in a headlock but we can't headlock back? /s

Seriously though, if it's so threatening to get a cop in a headlock, enough that another cop feels they need to use deadly force to stop it, why are cops allowed to continue restraining someone who fights back against a headlock during an arrest?

Because when a cop is arresting someone, it’s not a mutual agreement to be in a fight. It’s not a friendly spar or anything like that

“You are under arrest, sir!”

“I disagree, sir!”

“Marquess of Queensbury rules then?”

“Agreed!”
