people blaming the security guard...i blame the cop for eating too much donuts that he couldn't put the perp into handcuffs, even with the help of a civilian. she got fired for doing her job. where are his backups? still eating donuts and taking a break on tax payers money? a security guard's job is to merely watch and report, most don't have the training to restrain a person, they can only make citizens arrest, nor do they have legal obligation. any harm she caused in the event of assisting the officer, she is liable for civil suit and would have gotten fired, regardless.
the worst security guards are oakland security guards, they get paid to wear a uniform and watch people, can't do sh!t even if it happens in front of them.
