The best bouncers know that their job is not to bounce anyone…but rather talk to people. Bar management has a responsibility to protect them in the same manner as any other guest. After all, these customers are the same welcomed guests that you admitted at the door, charged an entry fee, and served your food, and your intoxicating alcoholic beverages. The best bouncers are personable, and friendly and can talk to intoxicated patrons without appearing threatening or intimidating.

It’s not always wise to hire bar bouncers whose main attribute is their large size if the job description requires someone to have a calm professional demeanor and adequate training to manage a large crowd and drunk and disorderly customers.įrom watching the video, I suspect that many of the Conch House bar bouncers: The punching, kicking, knee strikes, stomping, and choking that I witnessed on this video was offensive rather than defensive force, and was not reasonable, under these circumstances. Your list may be much longer than my quick outline. I saw a general lack of a bar security plan and training.I saw bar bystanders get knocked over like bowling pins.I saw blatant excessive force by multiple bouncers.I saw a bouncer kicking, kneeing, and stomping on a patron.

I saw a bouncer using a chokehold on a patron.I saw bouncers throwing sucker punches.I counted six people down with injuries or unconscious.Bouncers yelling “chill out” is not effective in crowd control.Bouncers were acting like thugs rather than protective security.

Conch House Marina dock was critically over-crowed.
