Control Holds & Restraints. Certain situations may arise where words alone does not reduce the aggression. Sometimes security guards and security officers will need to get involved physically. At this level, minimal force would involve the use of bare hands to guide, hold, and restrain. This does not include offensive moves such as punching, tackling, and choking. Pain compliance holds could apply here, but only after ordinary holds fail to control an aggressive suspect.

This man did nothing to require restraint. He was holding a sign and was verbal...that is all. The security guards were required to observe and call the police. This guy can...if he so chooses push for the criminal arrest of the security guards...unless Alaska gives security guards legal powers beyond what a normal citizen has...which I doubt. Even if a prosecutor would not place the charges (which is within their call)...assuming Alaska has setting grand juries (which they may not) he can go before the grand jury and demand that the prosecutor place charges against him...which the members of the grand jury may or may not choose to do.
