I don't know what it is about cuffing people that some cops are

What it is is that entirely too many cops have been killedv or injured because
they didn't cuff someone.

Its not just in this case but I saw it in nearly ordinary
automobile traffic cases.

Yep. I remember a routine traffic stop in Knoxville back around 1970. The driver
shot the officer through the door and drove away. Made a few changes to the
rules right there.
