I think the fact that the guy was released without charge is what makes the mall cops look pretty bad here. We don't have all the facts? Ok, but if the victim did something criminal enough to receive this treatment, why aren't you charging him? Even if the guy was an a-hole and flipped them the bird it doesn't warrant that type of force.
