Security guards watch beating...

[ez bake]

I love how the lady is griping the whole time about why these security guards didn't do anything and she keeps acting like it was more their job to do anything than hers or the other passengers that she said "were watching and expecting the guards to do something".

Citizens have a responsibility to jump in and take care of their fellow citizen - the problem is that people like this lady get a wild hair because they failed to understand their own responsibility and that of the security guards'.

I bet if she could, she'd use civil litigation to help affect a change she wants to see happen - and that is exactly why security guards have a policy of "Observe and Report" - civil liability cover.

This idiot lady whose doing the complaining is what's wrong with the system - and she could have jumped in just the same as those guards - it was just as much her (and the other passengers') duty to jump in just as much as it was that of the security guards.

Security Guards that only "observe and report problems". Wow... What kind of country are we living in? This is why I have a CCW.

 

[Old Fart]

This is why I have a CCW.

Unfortunately lots of people don't see the advantage of this.
They've listened to the libs preach no guns needed crap.
They are like nuetered dogs, they don't get it.

The lady in the report was on a bus, who knows how far away. I'm sure everyone was in shock that 3 MEN in "official uniforms" with Security written across their backs were just standing there.

BY DEFINITION, There is an expectation that if you are advertising that you are Security, then you should provide Security.

From Dictionary.com:
Security-
Freedom from risk or danger; safety.
Freedom from doubt, anxiety, or fear; confidence.
Something that gives or assures safety, as:

1. A group or department of private guards: Call building security if a visitor acts suspicious.

If you are going to hide behind a "contract" that states "observe and report" then your uniform should state that.

COWARD
or
Official Gawker

More importantly, basic human decency demands that you intervene, regardless of your job description. Saying you could lose your job just confirms you are a heartless coward. I can't believe there are people on this forum who actually defend their actions.

Yep. When I worked at JCPenney's doing anything other than "observe and report" was a fireable offense.

i would be fired then....i could not stand by and watch that happen without doing my best to stop it. keep thinking that could be my 11 year old daughter on the ground in a few years.

This very thing happened to my daughter when she was in high school, got her head stomped and kicked in the face and no one would help her.

I not only filed charges against her and got her kicked out of school but sued her parents for damages and won.

good for u bee! i would have done the same.

Yeah this just scared the crap out of me, I have a 1 yr old son and to think this is the world that he is going to grow up in. Do we really have such little respect for our fellow man that we will just look the other way while someone's life is in danger. I think it is the whole sue happy america that we live in that allows things like this to happen. Makes me glad that I don't live in a "big" city.

Kimber makes a great one.

The Kimber is alright, but hands down, the best spray on the market right now is Red Sabre. Get the red can.

BTW: Don't try it on yourself.

[KOPBET]

To observe and report ONLY.Several agencies have that policy of "no hands on". Steve

I have to wonder just how many personnel in twelve square feet it takes to "observe and report".
