My question involves criminal law for the state of: ca my friend was shoplifting, and the store security asked him to come with him. He threw the item at the security guard inside the store and ran out the store. The security guard hit him outside the store then tackled him. He got away, but isn't that a bit harsh? The store got the merchandise back inside the store, then got physical with my friend outside the store. This is in CA. Isn't there somekind of law broken on the guards part?
