Following videotape that was released of a bouncer beatdown outside of Jay-Z's 40/40 club in Atlantic City recently, several bouncers that were involved have been fired. Couri Glen, the former supervisor of security at the club, told TMZ: "We were initially all suspended and then fired for misconduct." He and his team feel they were wrongly terminated, saying they were just doing their jobs by escorting the men out of the club. Even if they men did take a swing at some of the security team, however, it still looks like the team went a little too far retaliating.

Bouncer Beatdown at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club
Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in Manhattan has seen some trouble in the past, but nothing compared to what his Atlantic City branch is about to see. His club's security beat down two patrons over the weekend, and of course it was caught on tape (by DJ Zeke who performed at the club that night):
Man Beats Himself Up After Getting Tossed from Strip Club
A Kew Gardens man tried to get a bouncer arrested for roughing him up, but cops ended up booking the accuser when they discovered he was caught on camera inflicting the damage onto himself. The Post reports 34-year-old Khuram Murtaza had been thrown out of Rouge Gentlemen's Club in Maspeth around 1 a.m. Tuesday and called the cops to report he had been beaten up, showing them that his face was bloodied and bruised when they arrived. But bouncers simply showed police surveillance video that revealed Murtaza smashing his own face against a car, cutting his nose. Murtaza was charged with falsely reporting an incident; he had been arrested in Forest Park earlier in the summer for criminal mischief. Reviewers of the club had nothing but good thimgs to say about bouncers, that they remember your name and even look out for you when use the ATM. Regulars also note that Rouge is the spot to go to for "young Russian girls," though some have immigrated so recently that they're "not much in the way of witty conversation."
