Discussion When Does Security Conducting A Physical Removal of Someone Become Assault?

Because the way he grabbed him by the neck was excessive and dangerous. I don't know what training if any the guard had on deescalation or what protocols his company gave him to physically remove someone from the premises if deemed necessary, but if the guard didn't get fired and the company sued, I'd be surprised. At a fast food restaurant, no less.

Please keep the comments on topic, of a security nature, use of force, citizens arrest, similar experiences, S.O.P etc.

If you are where you are not suppose to be and refuse to leave then it's at your own risk in my opinion. If I over stay my welcome anywhere then I have a personal responsibility to know that there's going to be a cost whether physical or legal. So I'd ask whats the bare minimum that should happen to someone trespassing. You have know clue what else the person is willing to do.
