I think it is significant that the guard who did this is (also) black. I suspect that a white guard would have reacted very differently.
Good point, Shoonra.
Imo, a white guard would have called 911, because he'd know he would be attacked in the press, in a civil lawsuit, and by the immediate congregating crowd if he were to use a taser on the belligerent woman. A white guard would have only the 911 option in this situation.
I could be wrong but it seems to me that the guard also had a handgun in addition to mace and the tazer. And I suspect that if the gang had acted like they were going to attack him that all he would have had to do is show them the handgun and they would have remembered that they just heard their mama calling and they would have to go see about her. And that would work just as well for a white guard. Even if he didn't have a gun the mace would probably have got them to pay some attention and act right, or as close to it as they could get.
