People in confinement get treated differently all the time. It's quite simple to articulate why you did what you did. I'll repeat myself again, "although inmate A refused consent, he was compliant with the court ordered procedure and allowed to remain unrestrained."

"inmate B refused consent, and was also non compliant, even combative at times. For the safety of the inmate and staff, it was determined a four point restraining method was best for everyone".

Least level of force necessary, if inmates are compliant, 4 points are not necessary.
