If he actually did something like punched a mall cop or was waving around his reefer scissors, then tough break pal, you got a little roughed up and you probably deserved it for taking a swing or acting crazy.
If all he did was mouth off as he was leaving the mall (which is the story that nobody seems to be disputing), then mall cops don't have the right to whip his ass, "active resistance" or not. They shouldn't even be touching the guy to give him a chance to resist.

True but only after he was given a summons....now it comes down to what, if any, actions were appropriate in the guards dealing with what he was charged with.
It does appear that one guy went over the top, and now the rest of the guards will be reviewed independently to see where their actions fall on the "appropriate response" scale.
Just a gut feeling on this one, but once all the story is told via CCTV and eyewitness accounts....this guy will be the only one charged with anything sans the one guard who was dismissed, who rightfully should be persued criminally if what the video shows was way over the line behaviour.
