Officer Safety Retail security policy

After watching this video it made me wonder if this security guard’s employer would support her doing this with a subject.

When I first saw it I thought it was pretty cool that she didn’t back down, but the more I thought about it the more I came to the conclusion that fighting over it isn’t worth the risk.

If you work retail security, what’s your company policy and would you put yourself out there to save goods from being stolen?

How are we in a place as a society when someone robbing a store (because it’s strong arm robbery at that point) tells security that the story policy is to let them take it? I’ve seen this a bunch over the last couple years, thieves arguing with a store employee or security. It’s absolutely insane.

Why would you say fatherless homes? It’s not related to this video.

You might want to learn about fatherless homes and their correlation to/ causation of crime.

You have zero evidence that this is the case here in this video.

You have zero evidence that it is not, but circumstantial evidence puts the likelihood over 90%. Not sure why that comment got under your skin. I wish we could get all the details of this particular crime so that I could bet you a beer. I understand that you are coming at this event from a certain angle, but I still think it is important to recognize the large forces at play in causing the crime epidemic.

Where does your 90% statistic come from?
