No situation is so bad that it can't be made worse by calling in the cops.OTOH, I don't know what else the bar could do, except maybe have a blinking neon sign brought to put over the good guy, to tell the trigger-happy cops not to shoot.
I'd hope that someone was filming this, but it really wouldn't matter because cops apparently have carte blanche to kill anyone with a weapon.

Drop the mag as thew cops arrive, eject any round in the chamber, decock and put the gun on the ground and put your clasped hands behind your head. Let the police handle the bad guy(s).

We're talking Cook County here.
I'm inclined to believe inadequate police training and incompetence.
Sue the municipality.

Bright Green safety vest with “SECURITY” emblazoned on it would go a long way.
I’m guessing this security guard looked pretty much like the patrons. Not that it should matter, but when you call the cops, you have to expect they will assume everyone is a bad guy.

Robbins is a sparsely-populated village about a 30-minute drive south of Chicago.
Robbins is a hemorrhoid on the anus of Cook County.

Better than getting shot. I was shot on 7/14/75, and walked away from the scene. Still carry the .32cal near my spine.

FWIW, The vast majority of “Security Guards” are former convicts.
It’s one of the few jobs they can get.

I guess that’s good advice. But you had better time it perfectly. Do it too early, and the perp kills you. Do it too late, and the cops kill you.
It might be better if the cops instead just got away from their shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later mentality.
