Nope, or security guards, PSO's, hunters, clay target shooters, or anyone else with a reason to own a firearm.

I don't think police are generally armed in New Zealand, and they never used to be in the UK, and it didn't seem to affect their ability to do their jobs. In either case they could call on armed colleagues where required, they just didn't carry a firearm all the time.

That said though, Australian police have always been armed.

I don't really get this whole tazer deal.
2 older gentlemen on the heavy side guarding a door. Seriously you needed a taser? Seems to me these guys are just not fit for the position.

I work with a few security guards downtown that deal with all sorts of drug addicts, drunks, crazy people and outright idiots. They aren't issued anything.
I hear stories of them wrestling guys to the ground almost every week.

these 2 just wanted to test their new tazer and the situation was all the green lights they need.

justified? not even the slightest.

These Germans are remarkably forgiving of assholes. I really wanted to see one take a swing at the fake security guard. They'd be totally justified. Or grab a bottle of Nivea and discharge it in his face.

As an Australian, I continually fail to see why this discussion is framed in terms of black & white... "As black people, we need to do blah blah". I honestly don't think the colour of the women is remotely relevant to this event. The security guard, who was incredible, was apparently a "brother" and he handled it better than I would have. I see this as a symptom of some deep socio-cultural problems that every 1st world city probably has its share of. This behaviour is typical of people who have attachment issues - they easily feel attacked and then their fight (or flight) mode kicks in, and all rational thought is over. Lots of us have similar triggers and can see it in our own arguments.
Perhaps, a more productive discussion would be around how we can all make our societies and communities more loving rather than how to fix the black community. There are people of every colour across the planet who would behave with similar hostility and fear as these people. I think the security guard was amazing, and I wish those children good luck for their undoubtedly challenging future.

The YT description says:

"The security guard stabbed by the knife-wielding man can be seen in the video clutching his wound as the commotion subsides. Another person, who appears to be a guard, is seen lying motionless on the sidewalk late in the video."

Security Guard at 0:30 just stands there and does nothing to break it up. (??)


He's a security guard, not a referee.

Seriously though, unless they're breaking windows or store property he really doesn't have any jurisdiction.

Doesn't Alex Jones produce InfoWars?

No wonder the video starts with " before the Rodney King incidence, police brutality was rare".


They even used footage of that off duty MATA Security Guard boxing a shitting knucklehead that may or may not have been harassing a young woman.

He's like Glenn Beck but more libby.

I'm surprised there were no security guards to chase these people away.

Shell money shot.

I like the fact of how clueless she was.

And fuck those security guards who tried to confiscate the camera.

Yep. Thanks for finding it
