Throws and wrist locks work on "yes" people. By that, I mean those people who aren't determined to and capable of hurting you badly. Cops can use them because most people will let a LEO put his hands on them without breaking his nose. They want to minimize their sentence, not add a felony to it. For the rest of us, Aikido doesn't have much use at all. Fine motor skills like wrist locks break down under pressure, and "techniqes" tend to fail when it counts and adrenaline kicks in.
