But it still looks way more aggressive and combative than the Philly Shell stance. And many altercations starts out with talking and cussing... that can be non-threatening so who's going to just raise their hands up like this? If you were the Bouncer, would you raise both hands up, "open, fingers spread, palms facing your opponent"...? And how long would you keep them up because this video is over 5 minutes and that doesn't include what was missing before the camera-guy started rolling.
I so don't miss those days - except for when I do. Those situations are a lot easier to deal with than they look. It comes with the job. Buncha' guys out drinking on the town. The key is you're sober - and working.
