Winter Swim and a Twist
On Saturday, January 30, as I walked to my worn-out Toyota pickup in the parking lot at the Ocean Beach Pier, I heard screaming, yelling, and swearing coming from the direction of the seawall. A man had taken his clothes off and gone swimming by the pier. People yelled at him to put his clothes on. He ignored them.
Lifeguards were waiting for the man when he waddled ashore. Words were exchanged, and soon there was a brawl taking place. Somebody threw a can at lifeguards and yelled profanities at them. Lifeguards called for San Diego police backup, due to the crowd that had gathered and the conduct of a few. Lifeguards assisted San Diego police in taking the man into custody.
At one point, four police officers and two lifeguards were struggling to subdue the man, who wore only large, loosely fitting green boxers. Multiple officers were assisting or doing crowd control. Tasers were used at least twice with no effect.
The move that took the offender down was implemented by a female police officer. She grabbed the man's testicles from behind with two hands and twisted hard. The man went to the asphalt and got several bumps and bruises.
