chrissa he has no right to control who stands where in a public place! - if he didn't like it he should have moved
he most certainly had no right to manhandle the guy to the ground just because he didn't like where he was standing.
i am amazed at the guys words in the article - the thinks he's totally justified in what he did - like he can control who stands where!
i work in film, and i know only too well that we have no control over the public and no control to stop them walking anywhere in our shot -
we can ask nicely if they mind waiting for a minute until 'cut' is called and most people oblige, but if they didn't we have no powers to stop them just walking through the shot - we have to just wait until they've gone. or move - unless of course we have paid the council to close the road and have a police presence to stop them.
