Loss prevention aren’t security guards. They’re hired to closely follow around black teenagers who were deemed suspicious by the manager.

Chuds seem to think it’s legal for stores to detain or assault people caught shoplifting and it’s not. I’ve known guys who worked in loss prevention who claim they’ve tackled shoplifters running towards the exit and they’re lying.

Chuds seem to have a fascination with assaulting people over notions of “property”

They may have done it because they might know it’s next to impossible they’ll face consequences for doing so, because lawyers are expensive and growing up traumatized sucks.

I have known guys like that who would simply break the law by tackling running shoplifters

They’ll say that, but actually doing it gets you fired on the spot, so they’re either making it up or did it exactly once.

assaulting poor people is far more permissible than the law or corporate policies would suggest

No I knew the guy for years and he simply got away with it numerous times

it’s illegal but that doesn’t mean they’re lying. a homeless person or a nonwhite teenager gets assaulted by a private piggy and the real cops will side with the assailant every time.

The people I knew were lying, they worked in the same store as me and were trying to sound tough. They lacked the physical stamina to tackle anyone

I’ve personally seen Target LP tackling a black guy in the parking lot
