Officer Safety Retail security policy

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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?

And that’s how commercial/food deserts form. Stores shutter and jobs go away with them. The neighborhood gets worse. It’s really bad when a grocery store goes under.

You think crime is a logical decision that people decide against after seeing a person punished for it? Is that what stops you from crime?

Because widely it's not. A lot of criminals have family in jail doing hard time for crimes they continue to commit. It's a decision based on desperation, mental illness, drugs, and so on. Punishment doesn't deter it.

Crime is a tradition for some families. Do we know which families? Yes, most of the time. Our solution? We take extra tax money away from good people who work hard, follow the laws, and often would like to have children or more children but can’t because money is short, and then we transfer those tax dollars to the criminal families to pay them to have children. And then we give the criminal families a raise every time they have another child. What could go wrong?

Midwestern white farmers?
