Trying to figure out the story. If he called to get someone to restrain this guy, then it seems like he would have been helping the other officer and could have restrained him.
If he figured that an out of control prisoner would be too much to handle alone, he would have gotten out of the van to help. So, it seems like no one wanted to risk getting into the van with an out of control wild man on drugs to put in a seat belt.
According to this claim, they were merely incompetent.
“They did, they restrained his legs. But when they did that they still should have put him in the seat belt.”

I imagine that the driver is required to remain in the cab.
