Sounds like there is more to the story than what the suspect is letting on. Wave goodbye? Him, sounds like someone perhaps waved a specific finger, or yelled out insults as he was leaving.

However I'm not sure exactly what besides violence would warrant such a situation. And if he wasn't charged I can't think that was the case. It's possible he struck someone after the went to grab him, but that would more be fighting back/defending oneself rather than taking the first swing.

When someone jumps on your back I would imagine the natural reaction it to try and escape, flail arms, defend oneself. Could be the guard who SAYS he got hit, merely took an unintended elbow to the nose when he was involved in the takedown.

I get a little upset at security or police that say the suspect was uncoooperative or resisted or was violent when the only reason it gets to that point is because they overstepped their bounds in the first place. Often it seems like the people in these situations feel they have the right to use force, but the other person does not have reason to defend themselves against the situation. They just gotta take it.

Don't taze me bro!
