  1. Watch the inmate’s left hand as the jailer tried to escort the inmate. The jailer did not wait for the inmate to kick his ass

  2.  @Dominic_Amoe  Sir, in terms you might understand better, the inmate fucked around and found out. He got himself locked up and thought he could create a dangerous situation without consequences. Fortunately for the inmate, jail staff controlled the inmate without seriously harming him. If the inmate were a capable fighter, then it would have taken more force to subdue the inmate, and the inmate might have gotten hurt. The inmate seems aggressive but untrained.

  3.  @Dominic_Amoe  Sir, I worked in the Harris County jail for ten years. I rarely used force. Here, the inmate initiated a chaotic situation. Most of us will not react perfectly in a chaotic situation, and the inmate assumes risk with his actions.

  5.  @Dominic_Amoe  Sir, I left the Sheriff's Office to work as a federal agent. I sacrificed my career to testify against US government contractors who murdered Iraqis, including two little boy victims. We must oppose government oppression. That's not what happened here. Based on our information, an aggressive inmate created a chaotic situation with a superior opponent. The jailer had to be decisive in response to the inmate's actions. We are accustomed to law enforcement accepting abuse for fear of second-guessing by civilian analysts. I don't know this jailer's training, but he looks like a fighter. Notice how he evades a right hook. He probably knows that a man can only absorb so many traumatic brain injuries in a lifetime, and he wasn't waiting to get one. An inmate must adapt to his environment. Having already allegedly spoken aggressively, raising his hand was an unacceptable escalation. We don't have audio, which could change our analysis, but with the information we have, the inmate created a chaotic situation, and the jailer reacted decisively to protect himself.
