We had a security guard at my old job that had to be about 400 pounds. A coworker was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot early one morning, and not only did it take him several minutes to get outside to help her, but he called his security company instead of 911 because he didn't know how to handle the situation. Whenever I see videos of officers like this one who couldn't control any situation without getting out of breath, I always remember that incident.

James acted like a cross between former LEO - wannabe cop - nothing guy (laughably) trying to convert a mall cop badge into respect and a license to bully/assault (not gonna happen). He should have tried to file changes and filed a suit against the mall/James. The other guard mimicked the actions a LEO takes when he throws up the blue wall to protect another LEO - he looked like he knew the other guard went over the line, but is going to protect him anyway.

Could he have acted better? sure, but literally having the cops gang up on you after you got assaulted is ridiculous.

@@CheddahSlammer and like I said, kept him detained after they had all the facts... it goes from reasonable to unreasonable real quick. My comment is more on the fact that I understand why he is upset and it's hard to control your emotions when you got assaulted and held against your will until a supervisor shows up. As for weapons, as far as I can tell he never reached, brandished or threatened anyone with them so why does it matter? They only added that information to escalate the call.

[@notoverlyacerbic9574]

How you treat people matters. You can stand up for your rights and be nice at the same time. And not for nothing. The more anger involved,the more likely it is to devolve into a competition,with nobody willing to shift their stance because they don't want to lose.. It is the difference between "name and badge number!" and "hey man,can i get your name and badge number?" It's the same question,except one is oozing with contempt. Again,it is about getting the change we all want. The government is a bureaucratic,unyielding,emotionless,detached nightmare but it is comprised of people. And people can sometimes be reasoned with but if they hate you they are more likely to continue down an illogical path because we are an emotional species..

Some tips for the photographer: 1. The guy admitted that he approached the guard, not the other way around. If you have words with someone, do not move toward them. 2. If someone pepper-sprays you, don't confront them, be FIRST to call police, and tell them you've been assaulted. 3. Whenever dealing with cops you need to KEEP YOUR COOL. The on-screen text says the 1st officer was "combative", but that's not what I saw. Police had been told (See #2) a civilian had a weapon and was creating a disturbance, and when they arrive, they find the photographer mad and yelling. The police reacted to that. If he had kept his cool, they probably wouldn't have even cuffed him.

[@bhambhole]

I have mixed feelings about this. While the photographer seemed agitated after he was assaulted we haven't seen his behavior prior. I can't assume he is in the right or at fault without evidence beyond his anecdote. The security guards lied on camera to the police to escalate the situation so i am more prone to believe the photographer's side of the story. The entire thing is silly though.

[@jaimeortega4940]

As the pepper sprayed victim is the complainant asking for medical help and not the mall cops he should never have been "detained" or "cuffed" and had his property illegally seized as per the mall cops "he didn't use those on us." Because it was all on camera.

[@dannyfergusson3243]

Based on the report he was wielding a pointy weapon ergo scissors with a pointy edge detaining him and putting him down was for sure prudent

[@jpc347]

The cops were called for an alleged aggressive person armed with a weapon and who was willing to use it. When they arrived a man approached them who was clearly agitated and refused to listen to them when they requested him to stop and turn around. In that situation it's totally reasonable to stop and retain that person until you can figure out what's going on. It was the guy's own demeanour that got himself into that situation.

I once worked as a security officer for Securitas in California. We were trained only to observe and report. We were forbidden to intervene or pursue suspects. That being said without the beginning of the encounter I cannot say what if any actions the security officers were appropriate or not. But on video, I didn't see them do anything inappropriate. As for Mr. Stone, I don't know what happened in the beginning but judging by his action on film I am guessing he intervene on behalf of the boy on the bicycle basically sticking his nose in something not his business. His lack of understanding of police procedures and laws rubs me the wrong way and his antagonistic tone towards the officers made things harder than it had to be. The officers were professional and show patience with Mr. Stone. And yes they kept him in handcuffs throughout the encounter for good reason. He was armed and they had a call he was causing a disturbance. He was legally detain and there is no time limit on how long handcuffs can stay on someone. It is based on reasonableness. I again advise ATA to do a ride along with his local police department to participate in the local citizen police academy if they still exists. Security Guards: A. Officers A. Mr. Stone: F. ATA: B
