I would rather take legal advice from someone I know is a lawyer and comments on a case that has to be followed by the law, then listen to some poster with a funny name and no legal background any day of the week. Another point to make is each state has different laws as it relates to self-defense and what is proper and what is not. In my state it is legal for anyone to assault a sports official. I know in many states have no such law or special protection for sports officials so you might be on your own. I also know some lawyers that officiate games and I have heard them say that you do not have to just "turn the other cheek" when someone is attacking you. It is not like my only point of view is based on one show and one discussion on these issues. I have no problem with any official protecting themselves in this kind of situation. I was not there and neither were you to know what was done right or wrong. All we have is a 3rd hand story.

That's the first comment in your post that I can agree with.

I am not an IAABO member, I do not need your agreement to validate my point of view.
