NO citizen ought to be subjected to injustice just because he or she lawfully defended themselves. On its face, it sounds like this guy did what he had to, but the details are a little skimpy, and I’d like to know more before rendering an opinion.
I'm a vet and agree with you TAM.

Moments later, video showed Jacobs looking for his attacker who ran off...
When he found him, Jacobs said he pulled his gun again.

"We walked him out our exit gate and here we are," Jacobs explained.
He is not a a commissioned LEO, functioning in the performance of his duty. He is like any of us, and does not have the right or authority to track someone down and "escort them out" at gun point, once the perp has disengaged from the fight. You get a description. You call the cops. End of story.
This was my thought as well. He drew the firearm and the guy ran off... he stopped the threat. Going to look for the guy was where he messed up.
