I am a martial arts expert and have trained Singaporian and us troops at Shoalhaven Bay in unarmed combat techniques, he could not let the choke go without the violent and unpredictable criminal immediately regaining conciousness, he had no idea if the guy was armed or not.
What would you do in this situation? I am just glad someone acted to prevent escalation, too often people just stand by or film.
mate, if you're actually an expert, you know that after going out like that you do NOT fully regain your bearings after just a few seconds. hell, i bet even most mma fans are aware of that without even having trained themselves. you also know that you can keep someone in a hold (video shows he basically had full back control for his rear naked choke) without applying the pressure required to interrupt blood flow to the brain - and just tighten the choke back up should they get rowdy again. in addition to that, there were two more grown man standing over the guy, restricting his arms, so the suggestion that he'd suddenly wake up and overpower all three of them is pretty absurd, especially considering he clearly was an untrained scrawn who wasn't wielding a weapon of anything...
