Security guard at airport

Security guard at airport

From Kompas

I am an employee at the Soekarno-Hatta airport. I always enter
and exit the place through the airport's west gate, called Post
M-1.

On May 22, 1996 at about 7 a.m. I saw at the post a security
guard viciously kicking the front wheel of an employee's
motorcycle, because the rider failed to stop his motorbike when
flagged down. The employee was apparently bewildered at this
treatment. As he tried to protest against the rough action,
another security person came to join his colleague and
immediately grabbed the employee by the neck, confiscating his
identity card, and kept shoving the victim roughly.

I realize that discipline must be upheld, especially at the
airport. But the way these security persons handled the incident
was a bit too much.
