I agree with this (I'm in bars or clubs at closing at least a couple nights a week) and would like to point out that in Miami there is another very large and volatile source of ambiguity: that is the language barrier between Spanish and English combatants.
Picture a street corner at 3AM. Someone (drunk) is gesticulating angrily and yelling at you in a foreign language. He's surrounded by 5 of his menacingly drunk friends.
What do you do? What should you be allowed to do? What should you be expected to do?
