How do pubs deal with such things..... very few that I know off, wait for the relevant authorities to be contacted and respond. more often than not, the same force is used to remove them, and often - by other punters in the pub who have had enough. What's the difference then?
If he was an off duty copper he would have tried to calm the situation probably by explaining that he was a policeman, thats often enough to nip problems in the bud.

Again funny old thing policemen are taught about not escalating situations where possible, they are taught how to defuse situations by calm conversation etc.
