Well, there wasn't much handwaving as handcuffs tend to limit range, but it was justified as being a little turned around, there was a machete in play and I did deserve to be disarmed. I am still a cop and understand their side of it. I, uh...no, but I will be completely honest with you, I did not pay attention to the whole speech because I thought I was dead, which it seems I am not, so. That would be my bad.
