Went full “respeck muh authoritah” on a cop. This will end well for him.

I had respect for the deputy up until the part where “...[Deputy] Gaston and his wife have now filed a civil lawsuit against that security guard...”
Why? That’s really his only legal recourse. I mean, I guess he could’ve shot the security guard.
I hope he wins.
Actually, it isn’t the only recourse, as the guard was arrested and criminally charged, which I’m guessing will be successful.
I expect LEO not to “suffer emotional and psychological distress” as a result of a threatening but non-violent encounter with a civilian that resulted in an arrest and criminal charges, especially one in which the LEO participated in the arrest.
I smell opportunism.
ETA: why is the wife reported to be a part of the civil suit? She wasn’t even there.
I pretty much agree with everything you said.Actually, it isn’t the only recourse, as the guard was arrested and criminally charged, which I’m guessing will be successful.

I think the guard overreacted but ultimately was in the right here. He did his job. He couldn't have known if the badge and uniform were fake so he took appropriate action.
He should have been the one to call 911 though.

You do realize that I am also a Level III combined instructor. I suspect we have the same opinion, he will be far more polite in his wording than I am.Curious to what TXI's thoughts on this are since he is a Security Instructor.....
imho...the lumpy dumpy security guard screwed up.........
It all depends on the situation.Oh for fucks sake. If you going to go with “mebbe he dint know it waz reel puleece” then you will have to excuse every ghetto goblin ever that fought with LE on the same grounds.
