A lot of people are missing what you're missing. It's pretty simple. The guy was asking for personal account information that wasn't from his own account. Then I assume he got loud when they told him they could not release that information. They asked him to leave the store.

Now, here's where it gets tricky, people: if a private business asks you to leave and you refuse, you're trespassing! At that point, someone hired by the store as a security guard has every legal right to use appropriate force to get you out of there. Think of a bouncer at a bar.

So this guy was removed and then decided to assault the cop. Is this scenario really that difficult to grasp?

Also, the problem here is that the patron dragged the officer out the door.
That will land him in the pokey for sure.

Davidson grabbed the cop’s uniform and pulled him outside, police said

Oops, he just lost his case. Not self defense or a justifiable defense in Texas.
