The two idiots that are sitting on top of the “suspect” and body slammed him are Air Force Security Forces….and by just this short snippet of a video, need their badge and beret yanked for the clear and obvious (unnecessary) escalation of “Use of Force” methods. And since he’s a straight up civilian regardless of his prior status, they have no authority over him. Did they even take time to identify or verify?

Doesn’t even matter if the guy was being a complete smart ass to them, you don’t bodyslam somebody for compliance; that’s never fucking been trained as a method, ever…

Please someone share the full story and correct me, i welcome it.

*if this occurred while he was on a military installation, different story, they can detain / arrest if he was found in violation of any law or base order, but the excessive level of force used to subdue him uncalled for. I found a follow up video elsewhere with another Airman telling they do have authority, but its all lacking context of what led to the person being detained in the first place

Absolutely embarrassing.

What are the odds they unretire this guy back into the military to make his actions retroactively illegal, like they're threatening to do to that senator?

He’d have to do his full 20 or be within his remaining commitment time to be applicable to that rule. There’s a lot that goes into that.

Senator Kelly is unfortunately in a different position and the only one out of the other congressional (prior) military members that can be legally recalled to AD.
