Security guards take down a man who has invaded the field at a soccer match. The guards hit him with their batons while restrained, and the crowd intervenes and attacks them in return.
The chief mistake by the guards was failing to appreciate how their actions may appear to bystanders.
A police officer struggles to arrest a man by wrist control alone. Two bystanders intervene and clinch with the man around the upper body. One of the former bystanders transitions to control the legs, and together execute a very effective takedown and control of the man. Throughout the takedown, the police officer continues to attempt some kind of wrist/arm control.
Complacent police surround man and fail to maintain a safe distance or keep their weapons ready. The man is able to close the distance and stab multiple police, possibly killing one before he is finally shot.
A passenger intervenes to choke out a belligerent drunk man who is arguing with airline staff. The choke quickly and effectively ends the confrontation.
Multiple prison guards fail to control inmate with attempted wristlocks and OC spray. Inmate achieves what prison guards cannot and takes down a guard by grabbing their legs.
Pain compliance (OC spray and baton) are ineffective against this man, and the police involved lack the skills/ability to physically control him. Backup arrives to assist, but it appears that the man could have overpowered the two police officers in the meantime had he decided to.
