Mostly Harmless
well first of all a cops job is to bring them in alive, and yes time is part of it. but your rear naked choke can also be done as a 'Japanese strangle', using the forearm across the throat, and crushing it and braking the neck instead of cutting off blood. I did not say some grappling techniques do not end in death if that is what you wish, I said that the doctrine seems to be more disable and submit as opposed to kill quickly. I said neither is better or worse, just different. I would not go to the ground alone with some one who had friends with him if I could help it!
I disagree. There are strangles and there are chokes. Guillotine is an air choke, as are several variations to the rnc. Many chokes can best be described as a little of both depending on how it's defended. And the same can be said for cranks. Often, the difference between the three is an inch or less and intent.
The value of a carotid choke is that it works much, much faster than a strangle/air choke. A person can hold his breath for a long time, and unless you have the leverage and desire to crush the Adams apple, will take a lot longer to I capacitance than the 5 to 10 seconds it takes to send someone o dreamland.
Now, we can just disagree on whether it's ethical to consider killing someone option1. My opinion is that quickly disabling someone would generally be preferable.
