You seem somewhat bitter SkyHawk
Even got positive feedback from the local PD{ a real rarity in private security}
Not all private security guards are "mall ninjas} just as every DEA agent is not that moron who shot himself in the leg{only one professional enough}
Sigh.
Yeah, still a bit pissed off that so many clueless mall managers, car lot dealers, etc continue to scrape BELOW the barrel (not even the bottom of it) for what passes as "security" simply to satisfy insurance requirements.
It gets old having these idiots coat-tail you around places, tell you how much they want to be a DEA/FBI/ATF/USBP/US Marshal type, but because of a "bum knee" or "an old wound from the military" that the "government just wouldn't take them."
Spare me. I got shot three times in the service and I still passed the physical. It's normally because these numbnuts have the IQ of a dead houseplant or because they're a good one hundred or more pounds overweight . . . that's their obstacle.
Also got old having them continuously burn your cover. Finally, we just quit telling them who we were unless absolutely necessary--then promised them arrest and disappearance via the black helicopters
if they burned us in any way.
And EVEN THEN. . .
Good ones? Absolutely. But they are not what I call "mall ninjas."
They are security professionals. Big difference, as I thought I explained earlier.
I've worked with part-time pimple-faced college kids who wore a ugly light blue shirt and tin-pie badge who were better to work with than a lot of my own agents. Likewise, I've worked with corproate internal security folks that were BETTER than most of my own agents.
Better pay does attract better quality.
But do know that there IS a difference between a mall ninja and a security professional.
I've never had a security professional try to arrest me, but I have had mall ninjas
try.
Clear enough?

P.S. That bozo agent who shot himself? Most of us wished he had been showing the kids how not to look down inside your barrel instead. . . He was to us what that Baltimore slob cop is to everyday police officers.
If every single gun owner belonged to the NRA as well as their respective state rifle/gun association, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.
