And for all of you woofing about rent-a-cops... perhaps you may want to take a minute and read the news about the incident. The security was a off duty state trooper.

No...they are only legally allowed to physically touch someone if said person is being physical...and if the person is not being physical the only legal power they have is to call the police. The off duty state trooper was not the one to commit a battery upon the guy...in addition law enforcement are never off duty per se.
