Which description matches escaping back control by rolling over?

• A. The subject is trying to escape the officer back by rolling over.
• B. The subject is on his knees beside and choking the officer with two hands.
• C. The officer is on his back after being tackled to the ground and the subject is punching at the officer's head from between the officer's legs.
• D. The subject has attacked the officer with a front bear hug UNDER the arm.

Answer: (A)

Back control means someone is behind you, wrapping around you and limiting your ability to move or see. Escaping that control by rolling over is about turning into the roll to break the behind grip and end up facing or on top of the attacker, using a controlled hip- and shoulder-driven roll to create space and a safer position. The description that matches this escape is the one where the subject is trying to escape the officer back by rolling over. It directly describes initiating a roll to break free from the behind grip and reorient to a more defendable position. The other scenarios describe different situations—front or side grapples, choking from a position not behind you, or a front bear hug—none of which depict escaping back control by rolling over, so they don’t illustrate this specific technique.
