Looking at the early video where he's talking, there is only one officer present, with a woman with a black and white dress and ID tags behind him.

That officer speaks into his radio mic during the discussion.

Perhaps after his assessment the 'bouncer' goon was called.

What's clear is 3 officers didn't rush on and grab him suddenly.
