It's only going to leave them with egg on their face.

The COO should have followed Lim's example and merely stated that an internal investigation was ongoing and once it was concluded, a comment and/or statement would be issued at that time.
He went into more details than maybe he should have but I did't read that as him taking sides. I left out a quote in the article that states he was a former police officer who had to deal with take downs and went into some detail trying to explain what happens in situations like this. I found that part interesting when you consider most people would question why it takes multiple people to subdue one person.

If there is wrong doing found on the part of the rent a cops they will be fired. Not sure how that leaves them with egg on thier face.

What disturbes more is people jumping to conclusions before all the facts are in.
