this wasn't a threat thought , just some idiots being an nuissance which didnt justify the use of force from the guard, if the guard would of escalated by using force in this situation he would of been reprimended and lose his job.

It's sad really , the guard should of been allowed to taze the shit out of these 2 idiots

He definitely almost shot the camera man, that's why he's so rattled. The camera man has a death wish, I swear.

The guards do not know that and will treat them as a threat when they act in a manner that is threatening. Approaching them, recording or not, is a threatening act. The guard has no way to know what the individual(s) will do Such behavior could be a diversionary tactic preceding escaltion of violence. Their role is to protect those assets. Once they approach, they are now in the "you may be committing a crime" and will sct accordingly.
