Tornado: if the guards didn't identify themselves from the beginning, then they should have. However, mid way through the scuffle the crowd accepted that they were security guards but they STILL interfered with the arrest, so I don't know how much that would've helped.

"If this was in Canada what was up with the idiot yelling to "read him rights!"
Even in the US, if you're not asking questions you don't have to read them their rights. That always kills me when someone spouts off about how they know their rights.
Way too many people watching cop shows on tv"

Buddy, you dont know what you're talking about. When someone is being arrested, they have to be read their rights. The people watching the incident saw him getting cuffed, which he presumed meant the guy was getting arrested, at which time they have to read you your rights.

On another note they didnt use excessive force. The guy tried to steal shit and got caught, if he was stealing from me I'd beat his ass more than that.

I love how all these side-line "lawyers" start coming out of the woodwork trying to tell the security how to do their jobs. "why are you punching him in the face?" Because he's resisting Matlock.

lOOK AT 1.50 timeframe...The guy that stands on the guys feet needs his ass whipped. Other than that the I see nothing wrong.

Dont tase me bro!
1.I hate wanna be cops, they have the same powers as a civillian.
2.Correct procedure is to forcibly drag the suspect quickly in to the back room where there are no witnesses.

Retardation ensues. Everyone who is there is involved in it. I really wanna move to Scotts area. Bums drinking outta the fountain, I can handle.

i wonder if the thief had just broken into their cars in the parking lot . would they have been telling security to take it easy he cant breath fuck him he is a thief
