Rob Hurlbut was standing on the platform of the San Diego Trolley when he saw a group of armed security guards tackle a man for smoking a cigarette.

He began shooting video with his digital SLR, prompting a female guard to tell him he was not allowed to take photos.

Hurlbut continued shooting as three guards struggled to handcuff the man with one of them driving his knee into the man’s face.
