How NOT to confront a group of people taking pics. The guard was probably withing her rights as the people were on private property, and management gets to disallow if they wish. But the nuance here is the people were taking pics from mall property not of mall property. Fortunately no guns were involved. But a genuine cop would have made all the difference.

I’m pretty sure the lady in the bike helmet has far more training in physical confrontation than that sadly out of shape security guard. I think she went too far the second she was on top and started punching. When she prevailed in the wrestle and onlookers began a kind separation, she stripped off an attempt to put on cuffs.

If that guard had had the sense to get backup, or a supervisor, or a real police officer nobody would have injuries or bruises the day after.

This video recently uploaded to the web is making its rounds showing a mall security officer fiercely shouting at a group of curious citizens for taking pictures and videos. (Warning: It contains some violence and strong language)

The fiasco erupted after a semi truck plummeted into a ravine nearby the Ohio Valley Mall when a mall cop identifying herself as “Officer Adams” began demanding the onlookers discontinue taking pictures and erase the images.
