But, my assumption is that the guard wasn't acting/responding like an officer because he's a security guard and not an officer. But that's just a guess. I don't think many people in the general public would follow the same actions an officer would if they were trying to restrain a drunk with a weapon.
True, he won't have the same training as an LEO, but he has his armed card, which means he's had firearms training. Even so, is it not common sense to think that the uniformed officers arriving on scene have no idea who is who, especially if the guard is not in a uniform, and will thus treat anyone armed as potentially dangerous?
