Okay, just so I am clear on my first post . The Guard who came in punching should be fired and have charges pressed (looks like that is the case). No need for that, especially when there's four other guards on him already. It's what makes bouncers and security guards look bad. I made my post making an observation of the video. The four guards made an arrest and were in good position on all four limbs. What made them move on him for an arrest is still up in the air and anything I said after was purely speculative. Hence the massive use of the word IF in the following paragraph of my post. But to be fair no one really knows why it went down the way it did yet so everything is speculative at this point, either for or against the security team.

Yes, he was actively resisting during the arrest process, stiffening your arms and using your muscles to impede the process is by all definitions of the word, resistance. What was a three minute escapade could have been reduced to thirty seconds if he had co-operated.

One thing is clear and should be noted, there is a severe lack of proper training in apprehension techniques and that should have progressed along with the licensing process that has taken effect the last five years in this country.

Does anyone remember the old days in bars and security when it was technically the wild wild west? You screwed up or mouthed off and you got your butt handed to you? That time wasn't that long ago, Bar associations, governments and other active groups are changing these ways and it only started not even a decade ago. The training and licensing programs are still in its infancy and have yet to be perfected.

There's going to be bumps in the road getting to where all security are properly filtered, trained and prepared to do this job. Its just too bad 90% of security professionals who are actually good at what they do are lumped in with the 10% hot headed bully types that make them all look so bad.
