Don't have to. The fact that they were "asking" him not to leave means he was detained. They did not "just assault him". They were being civil to him and he was continually trying to leave. He was not free to go, yet he kept trying to leave. Then he resisted arrest. He refused to put his hands behind his back or cooperate. They can legally arrest you for trying to leave a legal detainment. And they have a right to legally detain someone involved in a complaint until they at least get the facts about the situation. Had he just stood there and waited for the police to talk to the security guard and check out the area, then likely nothing more would have happened. He likely would have been told he was free to go within minutes. Had something happened with him just waiting, he would have had a case. His actions destroy his case.
I'm always free to go as I never consented to their authority. I have no reason to cooperate to their force, sorry. They want to issue force on others and then assault them they will get nothing from me.
