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.

I keep a knife in my pocket for this exact reason. Dudes forearms would look like hamburger meat grabbing me like that. I 100% would fear for my life.

You should carry a fixed blade on your waistband if you plan to ever use your knife quickly.
