I just watched an incredible video of a security team that was confronted by a gang that was shoplifting in a store mall. The footage is right out of an action movie. I wish there was sound but unfortunately there is not. It is clear that one of the gang members did something to be stopped by store security. There is a group of men dressed in mostly black clothes these are the gang members and the security team is in blue. The beginning is rather slow and then the fireworks begin.
The video surveillance camera is in the perfect area and catches everything. When the first exchange begins, of course a gang member throws the first punch, it look like it might be an even fight but the guy in the blue shirt on the far left of the camera has clearly been in fights before and knows how to handle himself. I won’t give you a blow by blow account, I will leave that up to the video, let’s just say that two of the gang members are asleep by the end of the video. After I watched, it made me wonder about the security we have in this country. The video took place in England it looks like and the security is made up of guys that look like they should be in security. In the US, I do not recall a security team looking like that. I think our security teams here are mainly comprised of overweight guys or store clerks that have to fill in at the last second.
You be the judge. Take a look and tell me if you see the difference of what they have in England compared to what we have here in the US. I guess we can’t USA number 1 in everything anymore or we just have to hire the right guys for the job.
