The modern police officer has access to a wide variety of equipment and technology to help them perform their job and keep the public safe. There is, however, one essential tool an overwhelming percentage of today’s officers do not have in their arsenal. In fact, some would say this skillset can become your superpower: Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ).

BJJ can be a valuable skill set for an officer, but the article was effectively an advertisement. I'd be interested to see data on use f force in agencies that utilize BJJ versus PPCT, Krav Maga, Monadnock, or other training programs If we look at BJJ as a martial art that has applicability in law enforcement, I'd like to see some comparison to various other arts.
If by blanket and hot cocoa you mean cover him in a generous application of hot bullets I'd agree, but what does that have to do with BJJ?
There's nothing wrong with expanding the tool box, but buying into this nonsense about adding a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear to typical officers 1st and 6th gear, is how you get fired. There's nothing wrong with making sure you have the skills and training to protect yourself, but adding BBJ to your own force continuum to affect an arrest is just dumb.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.
Was a total sarcastic comment to go along with Blues comment.

BJJ has a place in LE.
It, unfortunately is a tool just like any other, and needs to be logically thought through when training and prior to implementation.

Not only authorized, but taught and encouraged for us.
Our DT curriculum is heavily based on BJJ.

Well, sure. We wouldn't want any of the bosses to get their suits soiled.

It's a great idea. At the least it might give younger cops enough confidence to put their hands on people.
