Speaking for myself (and who else WOULD I speak on behalf of?) -- I have not yet decided what happened in this case -- whether it was self-defense or an intentional act (2nd degree murder or manslaughter). IMHO I don't have enough information to make that "call" -- and perhaps never will.
One thing that does puzzle me -- let's assume that everything GZ says is true and that from his perspective he feared for his life. Why -- even if TM began to beat him up -- why didn't he then identify himself either a policeman or some other sort of "authority" figure? If GZ had yelled out "Stop! I'm just the security guard!" or some such wouldn't that have motivated TM to stop hitting him?
In other words, GZ actions do seem odd to me. He never identified himself to TM so far as I can tell.
Why not?

It happened too fast. From personal experience, I can vouch for the fact that one is not looking to converse with the person beating your head into a hard surface. One is overwhelmed with the fear that your head will split open with the next sickening thud. JMO, OMO, MOO.
