Well, if they’re between me and the bar, I have to get around them somehow in order to get another beer.

Law enforcement do already get hand- to-hand training for situations that arise when trying to apprehend suspects. There are legitimate techniques and training for all kinds of scenarios, including disarming opponents.
The UFC is not an expert source for this information. There may be members who know some many of the techniques, but that’s not the UFC. They are a training ground for hard combat, but they are not an exclusive source for that, either.
By now, I’m sure the FBI has a pretty robust in-house program for training. I’m not sure there’s much the UFC could provide that is new/ different.

How is it that cutting taxes can increase government revenue?
Well, if you assume a spherical Republican of uniform and extremely high density …

As rotund and flabby as he is, he’d have to weigh as much as a small moon to be considered high density.

Also, this line:
> A U.S. Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration
That’s like saying ‘after years of arresting and prosecuting so-called ‘drug dealers’, I’m not appointing the FDA to handle sales of cocaine, heroin and PCP to the general public’ or ‘from now on, all Pyramid schemes AKA MLM businesses will place [person I appoint] at the top tier’.
