A man is dead after he started fighting security in the parking lot of an adult entertainment club in the Midway District, according to San Diego Police.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. Saturday at Pacers Showgirls International in the 3300 block of Midway Drive. Police say they received a call about a male customer who was causing a disturbance the strip club and then asked to leave When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man in his 30s being held by security guards in the parking lot, unconscious.
He was taken to the hospital where he died an hour later, according to police.
It’s not known what caused his death, but police do say the man was combative security before going unconscious.
Investigators are calling the incident a suspicious death. Homicide detectives are looking to see if foul play or drugs were involved.
Once again, though this customer may have engaged in unacceptable behavior, I still think there is a substantial probability that the unprofessional security guards provoked the situation. We need to be alert for this at SC's. When something like what this article describes happens, it is too late. We need to be alert to clubs that hire bully bouncers so that the problem can be solved before it comes to this. And of course we should never be saying or posting things which would legitimate bully bouncers.
