Question

Officers, do you find it harder to take down a short man or a tall man?

Answer 1

I'm 6' even. I have always found short people harder to get grounded. I guess I use the bad guys height as a lever.That is unless the tall guy is an athlete with a good core strength, they are very hard to get down to the ground.

Answer 2

I've always found that smaller guys are tougher to get down.  The other guy stated that he uses their height against them.  It works pretty well.  But of course there are pros and cons to both.

Answer 3

They both have advantages and disadvantages: a short man has an intense center of gravity and can wrestle, be quick, and run fast.  

But a short man can be taken over by us, bigger men.  

A tall man has a center of gravity, but when faced with a shorter person that is quick, fast, and strong, cannot outrun him as easily, unless extremely athletic, and will get beaten in an all-out fight.  

But a tall man, faced with a short dude, is still a tall man, so when up close and personal is the hardest by far.

It depends on the skill of each and other factors, but generally the theory of bigger they are the harder they fall is false, and if you do not believe me, ask other officers.  

Your answer: it is harder, overall, to take the tall man down!
