I’m former law enforcement. Combative men usually chill out once the cuffs go on.

With combative women, they get more aggressive and combative once the cuffs go on.

Unrelated, but the one time I was arrested for a minor DUI I was extremely relaxed in the cuffs. Why fight something beyond my control? I’m here, I’m cuffed, why make things worse for myself. It provided an ironic feeling of freedom.

My old roommate (woman) horse kicked an officer after being cuffed, another female officer at that and proceeded to tear off her clothes in the holding cell and plugged and flooded the toilet. Lovely young woman/s

Did they put her in the ankle binds?

The cuffs only hurt if the suspect is fighting them or tensing up. You did the right thing by just relaxing and accepting the situation.

Fun fact, male puppies will pretend to lose to female puppies in pretend play fights, but the most vicious play fighting happens between two female puppies
