Again, I dont know anyone who carries scissors, nor do i know what size they were, but my educated guess is that they weren't just for trimming cabbage and likely had ill intentions behind them as much as anything else.

He works in a restaurant as a cook, so that might have something to do with his affinity for what are clearly cooking knives. Maybe you could say he likes knives in the same way a carpenter likes hammers, or a how a cab driver likes three-tonne killing machines.
As for the scissors, he cuts his weed up with them. He said that, so no need for educated guesses. The cops didn't seem to think they were a big deal, or that he was carrying them for "ill intentions", since they let him go.
Really, I don't know if I'll ever forgive you guys for making me defend a dude with face tatts and a Marilyn Manson t-shirt, but this guy could have had a swastika on his forehead and Pierre Trudeau t-shirt and he still wouldn't deserve that kind of treatment from a bunch of rent-a-guards who don't have the authority to give anyone that kind of treatment.
These are mall cops, not police officers. The guy was outside the mall, and we have video evidence of them beating the crap out of him. Video evidence of a security guard holding a couple of them back for christ's sake. What more do you need?
Maybe he was a dick... so what? There are plenty of dicks in the world, and we don't let a bunch of untrained fools in uniforms whoop their asses.
