Security guards VS Shoplifter

[kitbor]

Who think that it’s OK for security guards to physically harm shoplifters, think again.

what a fcuking bull shiet justice system we have.

edit:
Nm.... they kicked him in the face.
It'd be a different story if the shoplifter took a swipe @ the security guards tho...

Lots of discussion about security gaurds and their use of "reasonable force". Holding down and detain the suspect until police comes is reasonable. Kicking the suspect's face is not.

I hope that rent a cop wannabe dropout gets fired asap. I used to do security myself and honestly, its one thing to do a security job and one thing to power trip on ****** ass pay.

I worked for a company that was scared of making physical contact with perps for this reason.

Well said. The only time I would actually use physical source is when the shop lifter already did some harm to me myself or another bystander. I was trained to avoid it until absolutely necessary.

The main issue being addressed here is the application of excessive force.

If a guy starts swinging at a security guard then the security guard has a right to reasonably protect him/herself. It seems in this situation that the security guards applied excessive force that went over and above one's right to protect themself.

Shoplifter deserved it.....why do the laws protect criminal scum?

shoplifter stole stuff, he'll get charged for it... the law is not protecting him from the crimes he's committed. But the security guard abused him, even if he is a shoplifter, he's protected as a citizen.

Even if he's not a citizen he's protected by Canadian Rights while he is in Canada.

it would suck if the shop lifter was being detained... and genuinely tried to whoop the security guards asses.

Crazy, bloody "justice" system.
The judge found him (the thief) "remarkably forthright". Yeah, right.

Everyone remember this?

This was at Atrium downtown at the LCBO. This dude ended up causing LCBO to drop the undercover cop program and ensure all cops wear uniforms in the store. The undercover cop program actually saved them more money from theft.
Shoplifters deserve to burn.

Remember to laugh at the crybaby in the video.

Bleeding heart, I have no problem with a security guard smacking around a criminal.
