One of my best friend’s thing is being restrained. He has a bachelor’s degree, is a teacher, and is very smart. But if someone tries to restrain him he loses his fucking mind. A cop tried to put handcuffs on him when we were in college and he punched the cop in the face, took off running across the campus with handcuffs around one wrist, jumped several fences, and got away. He reacts in similar ways any time someone tries to restrain him. Idk why he’s like that, and he doesn’t know either. He said he can’t think about anything except for getting away in those scenarios.
The latter. Your prefrontal cortex essentially stops thinking in rational ways, and more primitive parts of your brain are running the show. “Fight Mode”. Dude’s gonna have a hell of a reality hangover when bloodflow and electrical activity return to his front brain and he does a quick audit of what he just did.
WTF… Do people really think that they might get away with this? Or is the brain just fully shut down as they’re so full of adrenaline?
Everyone has a thing that will just make them snap.

Childhood trauma, dude. repressed childhood trauma.
My wife one time tried to playfully pin me and I freaked tf out. I totally get not wanting to be retrained. It feels like suffocation

I mean…I don’t see any follow up stories where they DIDN’T get away with this…
So you do see them when they do get away with it?
He got away in the video. He’s the tow guy now.
Probably just needs a Snickers bar.
