I watched the whole thing on TikTok. First he said that “the manager” saw her through cameras that she was stealing. 2) he threatens her by saying his gonna call the police when he should’ve just done it 3) he later says “now they’re telling me to just let you go. You’re trespassing” 4) she called the police herself 5) she or her lawyer called the manager on a later day and the manager had “no clue” that even happened.
That's not right how they blaming the security when all she had to do was open her purse and she didn't want to is already suspicious.
@@santossarmiento5600If you wanna give up your rights go ahead the rest of us know the law. I don't have to show anyone anything. He is a glorified mall cop. Why did he have a pistol etc? He looks like he's ready for war. He did this because it made him feel powerful
@@santossarmiento5600 she doesn’t have to let anyone look at her things. He’s the one breaking the law.
Even if a security guard is allowed to ask a woman to open her purse ,which actually happened to me on God knows how many occasions, I damn sure NOTletting a male security guard do it. Btw, I was younger when these events happened and I didn’t know my rights.
@@santossarmiento5600people like you are ridiculous
It sounds to me like she was in danger of sexual assault because why is he trying to search her? Why is he trying to take her somewhere? She asked repeatedly but him to call the police and he refused to do so.
Exactly this guy was perving
I was thinking along the same lines...
Cause of how he was bouncing quickly from straight forward to center field then threatens a tackle right to verbal rhetoric trying sending her to the exit only Gate...
I wondered if he was corralling her off out of sight to his own place where he controls the situation.
But she's has got it going and he cannot succeed.
STFU.. wtf is wrong w/u people
In order for a SECURITY GUARD ... IE a private citizen to detain someone they need to have WITNESSED the crime... NOT SUSPECT the crime. He can NOT detain anyone because he SUSPECTS they may have done something, he has to KNOW they have done something. His actions border on harassment. She is NOT obligated to stop and show her receipt at ANY retail establishment that doesn't have membership rules, for example Costco. Know your rights... when you are leaving a store you DO NOT have to produce a receipt if you do not wish to do so nor empty your pockets. You can oblige the Loss Prevention staff, but you do NOT need to do so.
Sure, Seattle is becoming a cesspool. I live in a neighboring city and frequent Seattle, it's sad what is has become. However INNOCENT people who are going about their day shouldn't be harassed by wanna be LEOs or are essentially cosplaying in a backwards NBA cap, wearing the American flag while asserting he's going to violate someone's constitutional rights.
He dressed like he on the swat team.
actually "suspect" is a cause for search
Wrong, a security guard can NEVER detain anyone under no circumstances. His job is to observe and report!
@@p_rnhub bruh tell me you’re joking 💀
I always think, why do I need show a receipt at the exit of costco after I paid for it. Are you telling I can just walk pass them
Gets better. After independent investigation the guy is listed as license inactive, so technically he wasn't even supposed to be acting as a security guard, his security guard license lapsed and was never renewed.
"CosPlaying military" 😂
😂😂😂
He’s just a wannabe that’s because he couldn’t cut it in the police and military 😂
He actually does. He has videos on one of his social media profiles where he records himself
cosplaying law enforcement.
@@NottyAries what’s the link to this 😂😂😂
Not cosplay, that guys a real "operator". Just look at the gear 😅
He looks like he is a member of the elite MEAL Team 6 crew. The backward worn sniper hat so he does not get food stains on the bill. His last mission must have been at a all-you-can-eat buffet where he was paid in food.
😂😂
Hahaha
Meal Team 6 😳🤣😂😅😅🤣
This guy had 2 body cameras and not one camera was recording that is very fishy. Another interesting fact is that if he really thought that she had stole, he wouldn’t suddenly change his tone when she demanded that he called the cops he started to demand that she leave the store before the cops came because he knew he was full of it.
As a woman this video creeps be out. It seems he was desperate to get him in a private area alone. I have worked retail and no man working in a store should be trying get a female I. A private area alone to search her body.
Yeah he seemed pretty aggressive in wanting to search her until she called the cops
Wait a minute. He was the one breaking the law, he was not supposed to be working as a security guard for anyone and he was trying to trespass her? Wow, just wow!
Wow a black security guard or a black imposter. Which is he.
It's against the law to hire anyone to work security??? Are you one of the criminals who don't want this?😂
@@danlo7698he didn't have the required security guard license. He was being the law.
@@NottyAriesPeople this man is properly dressed. Walmart hired his company to provide security for there stores. This security have every right to approach anyone while inside of the store gezz whezz. He cannot touch them unless he is protecting himself. Her mouth should serve a weapon though. But you have to admit buddy is ready for WAR!!
As a security officer, I spend a lot of time trying to show the professional side and the only videos that get posted are the idiots in the industry.
As a former police officer and security officer, this man in the video needed some guidance. He was instructed a command by the client. He just needs better training when to detain someone.
That should teach you there are alot of idiots who are "security"
Some observations:
1. He has two body cameras. Why? Speculating a bit, Is one for personal use? The axon branded one is pretty expensive and would likely be provided by his employer, but I don’t see any indication that it is recording. The one with a green light looks to be an Amazon one that anyone can buy. You can find an identical one if you search on Amazon for “body camera”. Why is he recording only on his personal body camera? Why have a personal recording at all? What is he doing with the recordings? He stated that his body camera footage was not working. How did he manage to have two body cameras and neither one was recording? I don’t buy it.
2. He had handcuffs in his hand. Was she a threat to his safety? She was generally compliant and is a third of his size.
3. No need for a flashlight indoors.
4. He has two standard capacity magazines. Aren’t they (unconstitutionally) illegal in wa? Does he have a third in his firearm?
5. His earpiece doesn’t seem to be connected to his radio.
6. His radio setup is really odd. He is using a samcom uhf radio, and Walgreens does not use uhf frequencies - (they use a WiFi system). His radio is made to be a ham radio - so who is he talking to? It doesn’t seem like it is even turned on. It does come up towards the top if you search “walkie talkie” on Amazon though. And it comes with an earpiece that looks an awful lot like the one he’s wearing. To me, it feels like he wants to make it look like he’s getting guidance from someone else, when he really isn’t. Why would someone do that?
This is why people are calling him a cosplay cop. Thank you for your diligence.
He is crazy needs to be fired for attacking women
💯 It's worth finding out how many women he has done this to..
The only reason I can think of for two body cams is who owns the footage and when it can be released.
They missed he had 2 badges.
Two badges being a wanna be cop
Too badges = twice the power.
America is a fucked country
So everyone missed the fact he had an NYPD badge on his belt?
Last I checked impersonating a cop is a crime.
Can you make out the wording on that badge? Just because it has the design of the badge doesn’t make it impersonating a cop. It could have said doughnut on it for all you know
@@ml-jt6eg I saw another video in which they zoomed in on the badge and it was shown to be an NYPD badge.
I cannot remember who did that video but maybe search around and you will find it.
WTH, Impersonating a police officer, kidnapping, and license expired to be a security guard. This clown needs to be in jail. Walgreens and ACS get ready to payout this lady.
As an armed guard who actually protect Philly Gas stations with my AR15 (I'm actually more ARMED & equip than that guard) against gangbangers that threaten to come back to shoot it up, armed robbers, wrong target shootings, car jackings, ATM thefts, shopliftings, theft of gas, get called a N*****, fat or get confronted with an AX since I didnt let someone steal & actually recovered the items...this guard makes me look bad even with my own proof.😡
Be safe out there
Have you been to Seattle lately. That's why he needs that stuff.
I live here. I see homeless people I guess but I have never been an actual victim of crime in Seattle, at least not in the last...6 years. Seems overblown. I have been to Walgreens, those guys are creeps I bet he's a perv. This city has got outta control cops that overstep and harass people seemingly just because they are bored. Now it's all these private security, some of which are undercover cops. Some of them are cool...but some of them aren't. Being homeless isn't a crime it's a state of poverty and you can't beat poverty out of people or shoot it out of them.
@@TemujinMSM Well I was born here. Seattle is a craphole. You IDIOTS got rid of the good Cops and left it with, cops that will follow illegal orders. That's on you. I don't care what state of life you are in, you don't get to steal. Cops and Security, generally DON'T just pick on people. You are doing something to attract their attention.
He needs to be proactive and profile the ones that are actually in the store not shopping. He picked on an innocent young lady instead of keeping the bums out of Walgreens. If he approached you that way you would flip tf out.
@@ebonywhite5846 How do you know she is innocent, where you there ??
You sound like the typical snowflake boomer. You chumps cry about portland and seattle but are too scared to go into the city.
Maybe if the city and state did their job, we wouldn't have to have private security guards who are trying to intimidate people.
@@maryjanesnow "The police have better things to do than increase the profits of private companies."
They literally don't if you know anything about law enforcement.
Why does the video not tell us what the cop did afterwards to address the situation? Oh that's right, they do nothing.
Keep your panties on. I feel you're the type of person who'd get upset if they put a curly fry and your regular fries.
I’ll be honest, if I saw a security guard like this I would definitely think twice before stealing! 😂😂
I wouldn’t steal but this would definitely deter me if I ever felt the need 😂
He is crazy bet he don't attack real thives he is a coward attacking women bc he is a bully
If I walked into a store and saw a "security guard" who is armed for war, I would simply turn around and walk back out, without spending a dime. And then I'd never set foot in that store again.
@@tedpreston4155 lol ok, good for you.
She didn’t even think once about it
Low standards of hiring. Not properly trained. I remember when police/security wasn't all "tactical upped".
Family Guy: “it’s barely sir” 😂
Your city is being ravaged by crime, police are not allowed to do anything, stores are closing. What did you expect?
To be treated like a human. That’s too much to ask i guess. I should be treated like a criminal even though i didn’t do any crime because there is crime in a city.
@@gokugotRacksyes your fellow citizens are stripping your rights. These armed guards and law enforcement officers are doing what they’re getting paid to do.
I expect I have rights beyond the definition of a want to be Dirty Harry.
@@johnpaulwebb3440 You should be complaining to the criminals that cause this to be necessary in the 1st place. Do you think Walgreens like having to spend extra money on security that cuts their profits?
@@indianatarzan8001 I do not and never will expect criminals to stand up for my rights. If you are going to hire Rambo for security, you can expect consequences.
Where the fuck is the legal action on all the fucking people stealing. BS.
The ones stealing from stores? Or the ones stealing our tax-dollars?
Shut up she wasn’t even stealing hater
@thedude-kl5zhlmao sure
@thedude-kl5zh You wont go outside.
@thedude-kl5zh you've been living under a rock
Isn’t that the city where the “Summer of love” happened?
And that despicable woman who destroyed Seattle just for the fun of it is not demanding police protection for her and her "lady husband" - protection form those who she defunded.
Jimi Durkin was our gay mayor. She started the fire 🌈
Seattle is a pit hole destroyed & hospital ls in puget sound are pathetic with crazy doctors in ER like fat security guard aggressive towards females loud & confrontational rude commies.
That was San Francisco stupid, I mean it kinda happened all over America.
@@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp The police were never defunded. They got more funding. I get that you hate black people I mean...whatever. Just showering the cops with cash is not going to magically end crime or address the underlying social problems.
That’s absolutely insane!!
He was wearing 2 badges, one which is believed to be an actual NYPD detective badge, it's illegal for a civilian to be wearing an actual or replica police badge like that.
This guy wouldnt be necessary AT ALL if Seattle didnt have HUGE crime problem due to lax laws and no actual consequences for criminals. This dude is a symptom of the bigger problem that the city refuses to address seriously.
Stores in every state always have some sort of security/loss provision person working for them... It's not just Seattle....
So why can't customers wear gear like that?
@@greenelephant1231 No ones stopping you bud, go ham.
The irony of you complaining about criminals committing crimes while justifying this criminal breaking the law because he didn't have the required license. When the police got there, they found out he lied about everyone AND they didn't arrest him for impersonating a security guard and law enforcement.
Good for her! !
"Security guards" are like delusional sometimes and are bullies sometimes.
*having said that, the Walgreens on Pike would definitely be a place that something can go down where he would NEED to be acting like that- or need the weapons BUT NOT with an unarmed, non-aggressive, lady who is just there to pick up her prescription.
These bully "guards" need to use some REAL discernment and think before they speak! And not be threatening people who ARENT threatening them in any way! 🙄
💯
There's never any reason to carry that much gear, even soldiers don't need that much gear
Name ONE reason why they would need such gear. Even one reason. You can't.
Hooray, for Walgreens enough is enough. What these people have been doing to these stores.
He was fired....
I agree. I’m glad that guard was fired. Turns out the Walgreens manager had no clue this even happened. The guard is a scum bag and I hope she’s suing him personally as well as the company who hired an unlicensed security guard
Bull innocent people don't pay for crimes they don't commit.
He couldn't help himself....she's a forest fire, and he's narcissistic imposter trying to impress her with dominance. Probably plays Second Life as soon as he gets home from work.
Well said!..👌
this is CRAZY!!!! dude looks like has a grenade but he's in a fucking WALGREENS!!!!!
I'll put money down you don't keep the same energy with the people that victimze those stores
FOX 13 Seattle are you in Seattle or somewhere on island ???? where is the “Summer of love” ?????
FOX is always pretending to be what they are not. They are a woke liberal media outfit - decided to do anything to hurt MAGA and Trump. CNN is at least honest about it. FOX is working like a wolve in sheep's clothing
Meanwhile at the Walgreens in Graham... (employee was stabbed by customer). So is all that necessary really for working in a Walgreens? You decide.
We aren't supposed to publish that it ruins the narrative
@@uoohknk6881doesn't change the narrative at all😂
of course. You dont let facts get in their way so it wont change a thing for you@@farticles04
Sounds like its needed in Graham! can't trust poor white tweakers to behave themselves.
It's self-defense, don't lay hands on others, they won't use a knife to defend themselves. Pretty simple
I hope James meets the people that necessitate the security guard having the kit he does.
Why is he using a flashlight inside a fully lit store? 😂
Apparently Fox13 doesnt want a walgreens in this neighborhood...
Apparently you think being assaulted and harassed is ok
We need more security like him. Give him a raise.
A reach around its up to you civilian!
I get it. with all the smash and grab and the grab and walk out going on they hired a pitbull. But that pit bull went after a real customer.
Down boy!
he got fired. lol. while he was harassing the woman in the video how many people actually stole shit behind his back? The only reason this is news is because he was in the wrong, if this woman was in fact stealing then we wouldn't be here talking about it cause she would be in jail.
what. is. he. wearing. 💀
His last name is actually Vinegar and the woman would likely describe his demeanor toward her as being like vinegar. lol. Why argue with him? Technically he had not detained or restrained her in anyway., though he was following her and menacing her verbally by saying what he was going to do. She should have walked out of the store. If he put hands on her... or blocked her from leaving that is definitely when she should call police and lawyer. Stores suspect Black people of shoplifting all of the time, hence the term shopping while Black. Unfortunately, that is not illegal, though it is distasteful, disrespectful and unfair.
Non story. A misunderstanding and argument must have traumatized her eh? Pathetic generation. She deserves nothing.
*lick lick* 👢
@@SirPatrickBossington Go ACAB it up kid.
Non story really racist
Get out my country
@@SirPatrickBossington Go ACAB it up kiddo.
No assault o bullying here. This guy is doing his job because politicians have enabled shoplifters here and police are hours away.
him saying he’s going to take her to the ground is assault. you are thinking of battery which is the act of striking or making contact with someone. he’s not doing his job considering he lied about key details.
actually he wasn't doing his job because he literally doesn't have a license with the city
Are you slow? Lying and contradicting everything he said is definitely NOT part of his job.
For Walgreens, Tactical Gear would be necessary for Security. It also depends on the area.
If there is a witness of theft, security officers need to ask the individuals to put it back or buy it. And if they refuse, then it’s just plain and simple “you are trespassed”.
These stores downtown Seattle are being destroyed by theft and they also have to deal with the Karens
funny how it's only stores that can afford the losses. its not like mom and pop shops are being robbed.
And in this case the obvious Karen was the unlicensed security guard
Who is the “expert” stating that the security guard is overdoing it (with his “tactical vest”)? I will be calling him out pretty soon. What is his qualifications?
You're butt hurt because he pointed out your tactical vest makes you look like a poser while doing mall security 😂😂
These cops are out of control.
Sorry your fellow voters have brought this on. Vote better next time
Seattle is a fuckin mess. You rendered the police useless. So yea, he needs that stuff on his uniform.
Yes, he likely does- but he doesn't need it to threaten some girl picking up her prescription and treating non-aggressive people like that!!
“You rendered the police useless” and who would happen to be the “you” that you’re referring to?

I was in Ballard north of Seattle in 1970 not bad.
He needs to be charged w/ impersonating a police officer
He just wanted to get her address and phone number off of the prescription label she just picked up. He was being nosy and got busted.
Nah he wanted the actual prescription. He’s a pill head.
Sue the security company
through her in jail
As an armed security guard.. this guy was way to aggressive and needs to be put in his place.. he isn’t a cop and has no authority to arrest nor can he stop anyone. We are only a deterrent.
I live on island. They do not have security like seen here.
When crime is out of control you have to take desperate measures. He is there to scare away criminals
Because she looks real criminal
He failed to do his job, then.
WOW let's look like military police in Walgreens 😜 racist much here few things his lincese is inactive that's way over the top aggressive lying etc...
We need more stores willing to stick up like this.
And this store security guard and the security company will be sued and they will lose.
I go to this Walgreens & I've seen this guy in that Walgreens! When I shop there & I've seen him be a complete jack Ass! to people accusing them the same way he did this woman almost every time I shopped there I would see him harassing just like he did this woman I would watch him while I was in line, I was watching cause it seemed to me he was acting out of line & going to far! With the people with threats! I knew he was some kind of Wrong! but he didn't do anything to me, I always pay attention to my surroundings when I'm out & about in public, more then ever these days! Im glad this young Woman did this the right way & was vindicated.👍
Why weren't criminal charges made on this guard. And take the guard , the store and security company to court. All of them are responsible for this incident.
98 % people commenting on this video agrees with the security just trying to do his job…
If she was sexually assaulted inside the Walgreens store , she would sue Walgreens for security not protecting her .
He claimed that there was a video of her stealing. There wasn’t. He claimed that the manager was telling him to call the police because she stole. There was no manager telling him anything. Do you really think that’s normal behavior? Do you really think he should keep his job?
Comments don't represent what people think, sorry. Especially since many comments are removed
Lmao the reporter and the "security expert" who say its over the top would not last a day working alone at that walgreens as security. If you can't do the job you aren't qualified to have an opinion. Just cuz you did security before in the PAST dont mean you could do security in downtown as of NOW.
Regardless of whether they would “last” as a security guard at that Walgreens, it wouldn’t negate the fact that he indeed, did too much.
An angry black "Karen." Go figure.
Here's the thing: When security guards violate civil rights or are caught being abusive, their employer is on the line monetarily. This isn't a police "tax payers will sign a check" situation. Walgreens doesn't want to have to pay in a civil trial and face public embarrassment because "yellow line" couch warriors think it's ok to profile.
SWS spotted
@@indigvilet896dude he respectfully asked her to show him what’s in his pockets and even said he doesn’t think she’s stealing, he was told she was stealing so now he has to do what he was hired to do. It takes 2 seconds to show your pockets. If you’re not stealing it shouldn’t be a problem to show your pockets, she just wanted to play victim really do the most for 15 minutes to deter from the fact that she’s under suspicion and liberal Seattle including their police department ate it up.
If you're not a thief show him you have nothing to hide do you
That’s what I was thinking.
“I see s black person so i see she doesn’t deserve to be treated humanely” -five chins
I don’t have to show nothing you can’t take my word o well.
@@traysloane4630actually no… she’s on private property and the security guard is a private entity. RCW 4.24.220 allows him to detain her for a reasonable amount of time to conduct his investigation.
You should not have have to open your bag when you have done nothing wrong he is a bully living in a rambo fantasy & he would not behave like this with men especially a real gang of thives bc his big butt would get slammed
Wow look at all the good old boys. Salt of the earth.
He got fired and it turned out he didn’t have a valid license to work in Washington
Paul Blarts stomach is so swollen from ascites im truly shocked that at security company would give him a firearm. I hope a BAC was taken .. because bro with stomach that swollen and descended there is no way he didn't have alcohol in his blood stream.
I'm sorry this happened. I'm also sorry all these trolls seem to think this behavior is justified, wait until it's their turn to be harassed by a mall cop.
Girl so proud of you 🥰🥰🥰
For a security guard he has an extremely unprofessional uniform setup, hygiene and seems to think he is a cop. Also it looks like they are wearing Crye Precision which is primarily a military or tactical unit brand, it doesn't make sense for a contracted security guard in a Walgreens.
Can’t wait for the Store Surveillance, if she’s telling the truth😂😂😂
she is telling the truth… why do you think he never called the police or put her in handcuffs after saying he will on multiple times ???
why do all these dillusional people believe that they live in a nice area. Look around. the tents the garbage. most these yuppies just pass thru these problems everyday, but security guards especially are the Frontline for these bums. I respect the security guard and maybe read the room next time lil miss.
better than your hick town
@@uthman9979 You have 1 up vote, you're in the minority my friend.
@@uthman9979 Just sit at the frontend of a busy/ big store and watch how many people walk in and out without paying. Every time I go to the store now there is multiple people walking out with items that I'll notice. I walked in with one dude and we happened to go to the same isle, I watched him grab a 24 pack of Modello, then he casually walked out without a problem. I talked with the store employees and they said they literally can't do anything about it, not even report it because it might be 'discriminatory'. They mentioned though that if a customer were to help out they would have a greater chance of not being in any trouble. I'm honestly going to start flipping their carts when they pass through the exit.
Security isn't the police
just obey
that is why
you always, fail to obey
Thanks to this video, Brian Vinegar not only lost his security job but he also earned himself a permanent ban from ever working and living in public everywhere for discrimination against Mika Prince, falsely accusing Ms. Prince of shoplifting when she actually went shopping, treating Ms. Prince as though she was a criminal, terrifying Ms. Prince, discrimination of law-abiding citizens, violation of civil rights, violation of human rights, violation of store policies, violation of store practices, violation of store procedures, violation of security training, violation of security policies, violation of security practices, violation of security procedures, violation of city laws, violation of state laws, violation of federal laws, and violation of the Constitution of the United States of America.
u know absolutely nothing he is a kind hearted big friendly giant and loving father . there was no discrimination he was told she was shoplifting and investigated because thats his job end of discussion
Wow, lady, shut up and show the bag and move on. We need more securities like that.
She has rights weirdo
She had a right to decline especially if she hasn’t done anything wrong. Put yourself in that situation and let’s see you strip down to show that clown you didn’t steal. Yall voted these weak ass politicians in office and y’all keep voting Insley into office. What tf do you expect with a super liberal democratic government. They defunded the police in Seattle. I know you was probably out there protesting too. This is what happens when you vote the wrong ppl into office. I’m new to WA so I definitely didn’t choose these candidates.
Did you even watch the original video?
She didn’t have bags. She was wearing a puffy jacket and just carrying her wallet
Show me your ID and move on.
How is this assault… the poor guy is doing his job
He threaten to take her to the ground?! He had no right to even harrass her. There was NO proof of theft
If he REALLY was doing his job he would have shown her the footage of her stealing or contacted the manager as she requested. This is harassment.
You need to watch the entire video. Talking about poor guy hell nah he was menace and he lied and he accused her of stealing when she in fact did not steal.
He made the whole thing up.
Hello SWS this is the talking points y’all use
When anti black racism is getting spoken about
She called the cops because she knows she did nothing wrong, most likely she did not feel safe at all and most likely he was biased and assumed and perused without proving anything. What a world we live in, I would not be surprised if she sued. He seemed so full of ego. Yikes
Which store was this in Seattle
It's on 3rd & Pike.
It was a Wallgrees - and for that company - after one of their employees got almost stabbed to death 2 weeks ago in one of their other WA shops - protection is a must.
Damn when did Swat start patrolling walgreens?
2 days ago an employee of Walgreens was seriously stabbed by "a customer". That's why they need protection. Or do you expect that they are now opening the door and declaring that stabbers are welcome?
People like you would be the first to "accuse the capitalistic Wallgreens" for not protectin their staff.
AWFUL BIG CHUBBY BULLY SECURITY TROLL.
@@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp Lol i just asked when swat started patrolling Walgreens lmao calm down Turbo! got rolling deeper then a tonka truck no hate! glad theyre finally doing something! Sad that it took someone to get stabbed for them to do this!! So calm the fuck down and keep scrolling!

If you think that's what a swat team wears then you're just completely ignorant and your comment isn't funny, it's stupid.
He couldn’t run more than 30 seconds 😂
The Walgreens in this video decided to terminate their private security contract all because of Brian Vinegar treating law-abiding citizens as lawbreaking criminals.
"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" You see that EVERYWHERE. if a store manager tells Mr. Vinegar they want her out then he has to follow the protocol
Yeah, and this bad PR will lose customers for the store.
BULLY SLOB SECURITY RAMBO COMMIE.
Refusing service and “taking them to the ground to hand cuff them” are two very different things. She did not steal anything, he lied to police when they got there, this is not protocol. And in Washington state security is not allowed to put you in cuffs or anything else he said. 🙄
The thing is... management had no idea what the security guard was talking about and never advised him to stop her. The company he works for also stated that what he did is outside of their SOP.
Refusing service by blocking the door to get out that doesn’t make any sense try again
until their is more footage on both sides i wait to cast judgement. also they more security guards like him. its a joke over here in CA now considering how the crime is their compare to WA
There is more, she called the cops, the cops contacted Walgreens and the manager he claimed "Told him to detain her" didn't even know that was going on, they contacted his job AWS Security (a contracting company) and even THEY didn't know what he was doing!
Follow him home.
He was all about searching her and "taking her down" until she wanted to call the cops. Then he wanted her to leave 🤔
Private security is a scary trend !
need a safe space..? .stay home..
WE NEED TO VE SAFE FROM SICK SECURITY TROLLS WHO BULLY WOMEN
we need to stamp out shoplifting for starters..then move up the food chain ..@@TokiPollypocket22
Security just doing his job man. Her attitude is completely out of line.
Not really you have rights
People have lost their rights in liberal cities!!! and nobody to blame but themselves...and Antifa of course.
@@namelessmillennial she’s on private property and he’s not law enforcement. He didn’t put his hands on her, his level of force was reasonable am necessary to achieve his objective.
He is pathetic & security scum was overly opressive!
@@Bent666🤣🤣🤣
Why is he dressed like a cop 👮♂️ 😂😂
We're just now having this conversation about armed security LOL😅
So someone caught stealing, yet, were complaining about the security? Unreal...
She didn’t steal anything
If you don't like the way you're being treated at one store, go shop somewhere else. It's that simple.
She was trying to, then she was threatened to be cuffed and thrown to the ground.

And if I don't like the way she was treated at Walgreens, I'm free to go shop somewhere else. Shall do.
Is this what America is all about disgusting!
well at least we're not complaining about all the Muslim and African immigrants that come here like Europe does. USA all day.
This is Crazy as security profesdional I would never do this. If I saw a co- worker doing this, id challenge them, and try to stop them. Its do sad, the idiots in the industry...
Vic Vinegar needs to train this guy on proper security techniques asap.
Also remember that private businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason and to personally remove said person from their property with force if necessary...
And we can defend ourselves if they try to "remove us" with violence, no one can touch you but the police anyway. And some people like paramedics or firefighters cannot be removed unless you want to catch a charge
What's that got to do with intimidating and accusing (falsely) a lovely lady of stealing.
I bet Bubba runs around in the woods on his days off with his fellow militia members….
Who wears two badges? And they don’t match.😂
I can see a presence like that guard's in a store that regularly experiences flash mob shoplifting raids. I can't see a guy wearing that stuff confronting a lady accused of pocketing some lipstick (or whatever).
Uh, shoplifting and violent crime as SKYROCKETED!! OF COURSE the guards need to be armed!
That guy is a symptom of a greater problem. Until he was reported by the young lady, did anyone working at the store have any complaints about his costume or his behavior? Probably not. They were probably happy to have someone there to deal with the rampant crime that resulted from Seattle's failed policies. They were probably just happy to have some sort of deterrent to the brazen thefts that result in unsafe working conditions and stores like Walgreen's, shutting down their stores in that area.
When it comes to the tactical gear I don't think it was over excessive, especially in 2024. Every where you go nowadays stores are being robbed, people are stealing right in front of your face, or fights break out, the other shoppers need to feel some what safe and I think seeing someone wearing all that gear brings some sort of comfort while shopping, Imo.
But this wannabe cop crossed the line on all sorts of levels and I hope she gets a good settlement out of this and Walgreen learns from it.
There's more to this story as well, when he approached her he told her she was caught on camera stealing and when the cops arrived and she mentioned it to check the footage the guy said there was no footage of the incident, also his so called body camera wasn't even on and he's wearing two of them. Which makes me believe that's just for show and now everyone knows it.
You are on Walgreens private property they can do whatever they want.
This is not assault.
It is.
You obviously don't know that asshole
When you threaten someone verbally, its assault.
It’s not
In Washington Assault is threatening behavior. Battery is physical. It is easy to construe the definitions. Read the statutes to get a better idea.

This guy has to have mental issues, hes only a security guard suited out in almost full swat gear what is going on?! Then he's got one clip in his pistol and two extras on him, seriously need all that working security at a walgreens?! Something needs to change with our system it's corrupt and just sickening on every level and we're seeing it more and more thank God for social media because it's been like this for a long time 🤮🤷♂️💯
No more donuts for that dude.
