I believe the security guard although, of course, in this day & age we aren't likely to hear his side of the story.

We currently have a case of excessive force going on not 20 miles from my front door.

Things can, and do go downhill rapidly when training and discipline break down. There may well have been a lucky escape for all concerned.

From the little we saw, I wouldn't like to comment until I'd seen the previous 5/10 minutes of the security film.

Let's be serious, a headlock is one step away from a broken neck, nowhere in any of the piccies offered is he in that position.

[Peter Pedant]

you believe the security guard
in that anyone pressing the loud music button, their near relation is dragged out in a neck lock....

oh well - that will bring the punters in ....
( um drag them in ...)

//Let's be serious, a headlock is one step away from a broken neck, nowhere in any of the piccies offered is he in that position.//

the punter isnt an ex marine Balders
and the still photie does show - - venous congestion ( the punter is blue or blus-ish) - so yes, lets be serious ....

[Baldric]

Another useless post ^^^

[waterboatman]

Bladders and I are both ex-forces, and neither of us would have reacted the way that security guard did.

[waterboatman]

Bladders? Balders. Damn predictive device!

[Baldric]

Well said WBM

I gave my opinion Tony, not arguing with anyone else.

[tonyav]

Yes I understand that, Mamya.

[LadyCG]

The Security Guard looks like a thug to me.

I can't see how his actions can be justified.

[Mamyalynne]

That's bad Douglas.

I'm guessing we should be thankful the little girl got away scot free. I mean being far smaller and weaker than the security guy isn't gonna cut the mustard here.

I'm not buying it, I'm totally on the security guard's side. He said the youth was being abusive and swearing and I believe him. Poor sap's a product of our pc society where it is not allowed to fight back against yobbish behaviour without, in his case, losing his job - and don't the yobs know it !!!! Give him back his job John Lewis - grow a pair ..

[Sqad]

OK...I don't know the true facts, but I agree with hereIam........one can almost guarantee that one gets's hassle and abuse from this modern generation, wit a few f...s thrown in.
The security guard/ Do what you have to do and if that involves a double Nelson, then so be it.

[naomi24]

I’m not buying it either.
