Only someone who was actually there who saw what happened could tell you if that's the case or not.

I was a bouncer for many years, and did concert security for many years as well... had very few instances where I had to get a bit rough. Sometimes that's the best course of action, depending on who you're dealing with and what they're acting like.

You're right though, it's all about focus and on diffusing a situation in the best manner rather than taking pleasure in beating some mouthy kid's head in.
