You can't just say, but she's a middle class white woman in an evening dress.... she's not a threat. I imagine there might well have been some security sackings and so should there be. If security had been on the ball she might have ended up face down on the floor with plasticuffs on.

But Livia.She was no physical threat to anyone...The fact that he ..and nobody else thought so is on him.Perception is not a cause for assault..I Know you are a lawyer and I am not.She broke the law ..Do I think she should have ended up "Face down on the floor".NO
It's a shame that we now judge siuations after we we check who we voted for
