If a police officer is going to take a subject to the ground and use the mount, they MUST know how to use their legs and hips optimize the control.
In this incident, the officer achieves the mount but is unable to maintain control. The suspect rolls to his stomach and gets back to his feet before retrieving an axe from his car.
