A former CIA officer has praised Ian Ziering's portrayal of Hollywood's attack, but offered some advice.

A former CIA officer offered their opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of Ian Ziering taking control of a situation when a group of individuals on mini-motorized bikes surrounded his car on Hollywood Boulevard.

Video footage of last week's incident reveals Ziering pushing one of the bikers before the situation escalated into a fight. TMZ obtained the video. Ziering, who had his 12-year-old daughter in the car, explained his actions on Instagram.

"Ziering recounted an alarming incident that occurred while he was stuck in traffic. One of the riders in a group of mini bikes aggressively approached his car, leading to an unsettling confrontation. In an attempt to assess any damage, Ziering exited his car, which unfortunately escalated into a physical altercation. He navigated the situation to protect himself."

Ziering stated that he and his daughter were unaffected after the terrifying incident.

Jason Hanson, a former CIA officer, began by acknowledging what Ziering did correctly.

"Hanson explained to Planet Chronicle Digital on Monday that the man who got out of the car was scratched or hit by someone, and they started punching him. Despite being outnumbered 3-to-1, the man had no fighting experience. However, he did something right by remembering the words "movement saves lives," which is a piece of advice that Hanson often gives to his trainees."

"Regardless of whether I am teaching an evasive driving class or a self-defense class, if you simply stand there, you will be killed. If you remain seated in your car, you will be carjacked. Therefore, you must move out of danger. The fact that you saw him running away from those guys and pushing his way out indicates that he did a good job of moving and escaping."

In most cases, it is safer to remain inside one's vehicle, as Hanson pointed out. Many individuals, he noted, allow their "ego" to override their safety.

One of the hardest things is to remain calm when someone flips me the bird. I swallow my pride and let it go. It's not worth getting in a road rage incident. If someone marks my car or is in front of me, I can easily maneuver the vehicle in a safe spot. However, once I get out, things can quickly turn bad.

"I understand that every human being has an ego, and we all have that "Hey, you just scratched my car. I want to punch that guy" feeling. However, it's important to let go of that stuff, which can be challenging. Even I, who am in a metal box that is thousands of pounds and protective, would rather not get out and fight 3-on-1."

Hanson, the New York Times bestselling author of "Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life," runs Spy Escape & Evasion, a company that teaches lifesaving strategies and techniques to civilians. The course was so successful that it earned him a deal on "Shark Tank" in 2014.

In his Instagram post after the event, Ziering emphasized the importance of stronger law enforcement due to the incident.

"This incident underscores a broader problem of hooliganism on our streets and the necessity of robust law enforcement measures to address such behavior," he stated. "As a concerned citizen and a parent, I find it intolerable that groups can engage in this kind of behavior, causing fear and chaos, while the response from authorities appears inadequate."

Crime is a significant issue for many Californians, with two out of every three residents believing it to be a "big problem" in the state. Oakland and San Francisco are grappling with violent crime, while Los Angeles has experienced an increase in retail burglaries. Additionally, numerous former California residents have cited crime as the reason for leaving the state.

Hanson believes that his trainings are "absolutely necessary" due to the increasing violence in society, which he sees as having "no repercussions for engaging in harmful actions."

He told Planet Chronicle Digital that being busy is a blessing for him.
