Who cares you can literally say you have weapon on you when security confronts at the door and they'll back off because their safety is more important than any merchandise
They actually weren’t weak they were just untrained on how to take down a guy who’s resisting. The middle guy was grabbing him around the chest holding him up and stabilizing him while the other two each had an arm. The middle gut should have gone for his legs 🦵 🦵
Great stuff. Camera caught everything. I say props to the prev loss team for giving their best while remaining cognizant that they could be criminally and civilly liable should the perp be injured.
Trump look who’s stealing and look who’s working hard trying to prevent thieves from stealing? Which of them should get deported back? Let’s make America great again but how ?🤔
They do, there are certain restrictions, procedures, and protocols they have to take when detaining and making a run at a shoplifter. I used to work at target and had friends that were LP, so they gave me an idea of how it works I'm just not 100% sure
@Savage AF it's not about sugar coating. You left an unnecessary comment and I'm saying it was disrespectful. What was the point of commenting on her hair?
@@RUclipsExplore777 Anything can potentially result in liability. However what they were doing has far less risk than more aggressive methods of restraint.
@@luke7522 The "guards" _were_ being aggressive. Re-watch the video. They had no right to lay hands on him. If the Los Angeles County D.A.'s Office wasn't so corrupt, the guards would be going to jail for battery. And for the record, Target doesn't allow its security guards to lay hands on anyone. So those guards were breaking both the law AND Target policy.
johnathan chen - It’s not really a security guards job to get physical (except bouncers). Yes we’re taught how to make a citizens arrest, but we’re told if they try to resist to not get too physical since they can take us to court & it’s the role of a police officer. We are not taught how to take someone down
""Don't come back to this Target ya heard!" Jesus Christ Target security, all you had to do was sweep the guys foot and the weight of the three of you would've took over and easily put him face down on the ground.

“Why did ya let him go?” “We have policies man.” 😂👎 Target doesn’t have the right to assault anyone; their policy is to not pursue a shoplifter leaving the store.
One of the criteria for making a stop, and it's the last one, is the thief passing "points of sale". He clearly satisfied that before leaving the store.
They were Security Guards, not Target salesmen. They weren't assaulting him, they were trying to arrest him for stealing...which is against the law. Stop trying to paint a thief as the victim. 😂
@@AnnaJo2000 Laying hands on someone without their permission is assault. And security have no powers of arrest, they aren't the police. Your family is guilty of stealing land from mine, but does that mean I can handcuff you? SMH
@@peterk8909 Who cares about the criteria? They're not the police. Who's going to show up to their funeral or name a highway after them? Nobody. And guess who the jury would side with? Not with Target security. That's all you need to know. The police HATE it when shoplifters stand up for themselves, but reality is that no one likes security or loss prevention .
NIKI STARZ lol,that’s why there pigs to begin with...You don’t need a high IQ at all to become one,only 2 requirements,be dumb and be a coward and any circus will hire you
At 3:34 when you asked the security why they let him go, he said that they are only allowed 2 minutes to apprehend him, then they have to let him go. I going to bet that the shoplifter knew about that 2 minute rule. That's why he struggled the way he did. He knew they were going to have to let him go.
The most pathetic attempt to arrest someone by 3 people ever! If they knew how to take someone down OR even pressure points, he would have been on the ground in seconds. NEVER EVER TRY TO RESTRAIN SOMEONE STANDING UP IF THEY RESIST ARREST, TAKE THEM TO THE GROUND IMMEDIATELY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE OFFICER!
Billy Barton most the people as of the last few years shoot up or smoke meth right before they steal. Trust me they are not easy to control. Go fight a meth a on your own and let me know how badly they fuck you up
Love folks who have never attempted to detain a physically resistant person always chiming in how it takes so many people. I swear for these internet yappers they should be given a taste of trying to cuff a resistant person and mind you there's no being able to beat them into submission to make it easy. Bet most would be utterly surprise how difficult it is not to pin the person but to get two hands in cuffs that don't want to be there.
You can hold for longer then 2 minutes they just were embarrased they couldnt get him down all one of them had to do was wrap up his legs while the other two had him up top and take him down
If those security guys knew anything about arm locks, one guy could of held him down. They shouldn't be security, they're going to get beat up one day.
Loss Prevention has a two minute rule to restrain and detain shoplifters if the two minutes are up and the haven't handcuffed the suspect yet then they have to let them go because it's more trouble than it's worth at that point
So you just need to be short, fat, and unfit to qualify as a security guard. And some people want to raise the minimum wage ? Those guys are a joke !!!
I’m not proud of this at all I used to be wild when I was younger I seen a dude getting followed by Walmart under covers because he was stealing so I started stuffing shit in my bag and walked out lmao 😂 they were so distracted it was soooo easy
@@Hellokittylove324Black Friday at Target a couple of years before the pandemic I stole a pair of wireless earbuds while security was busy arguing with a customer lol that night I regretted not stealing a Nintendo Switch because they weren't locked behind a glass but looking back I'm glad I didn't because I learned that stealing is wrong when I matured
Yea I walked out with $20 dollar earphones one time when customers with receipts arguing with Security. I should have taken a Laptop because it was black Friday and Security guards were too busy to highlight my receipt 🤦🏾♂️
Not my President I’m an idiot? I literally work Target security lol. Anything to do with the face or legs we cannot do. We cannot drop people to the ground. And the 2-2 rule, etc. But sure thang boss if you say so.
Not my President Are you trolling or just trying to piss me off? Because you’re not funny. We can absolutely be sued lol. We are SECURITY not the police my man we can’t drop people left and right. Do your research there’s a reason those policies are in place because Target has been almost sued for those exact reason.
It was probably for steady aim. Notice the green buttstock..non-lethal rounds. Besides, with 15 or so officers, doubt a bad guy could have zeroed on him.
Liz----i believe that it is the governments fault for all of this....i don't mean...thieves stealing......i mean, that the cities...won't respond to someone stealing something......for like 20.00.....it just isn't worth it to them............something else needs to be done.......
Holy COW! this is hilarious! This dude is probably thinking, "What the hell is going on?! All I did was try to lift some crab shampoo??! A police helicopter, guys?? Come on! ".
Plain clothing officers? Lol no but for sure places like this and Walmart have security teams hiding in plain sight. You are being watched 80% of the time if you have a certain look to you. A lot of times these people are on their third or fourth trip back within a week from stealing so their on a watch list. You're right about them being pro cops. They love to call the cops and try and play superman a little to much.
I recommend learning to do a translucent watemark over the entire video. It's less distracting. People will still steal the parts with no solid watermark in the middle.
Thanks yeah that would work do you know if you can do that with Imovie off hand ? I am using that currently. As i do not do that many videos to often. I hope to do more but i first have to get lucky with new content.
Does Imovie have pnp? just make an image of your watermark with maybe 35% opacity..you can do this in photoshop, then place the image in your video with pnp
He should get arrested I don't care if it's a pack of 50 cent gun he stole he is a thief shoplifting is a crime and if you let people go for shoplifting something cheap then they are going to keep coming back. Soooo if somebody stole something from a business you own it's okay ruben?
@@tonyflores240 I was just amazed at how weak and inept these guys are...3 against one ...3 nice size guys against one average guy. These guys need to be fired or, take some classes in martial arts, especially Jiu Jitsu, where they can learn some throws and locks. Once a man is locked...he isn't going anywhere.
Many guards are not really trained in how to subdue someone. Their job is to observe and report as needed. Detain if possible but not at risk of injury.
Target and similar stores are partly to blame for this. If their policy is to let these crazies go, it just encourages them to continue and even escalate their crimes
Target security have a 2 minutes policy to apprehend shoplifters is because the suspect can sue if the security guards hurt him in anyway and that usually will happen if the struggle lasts longer that it should plus the Security Guards can sue Target too if they get badly hurt if a 10 minute struggle has happened
that addict knew if he went to jail, he wouldn't get his next fix, so he was fighting for that fix. that's why he was stealing. but the cops got that junkie anyway
Summer Winter - If you know the right people, it's sometimes easier to get a fix in prison. Depends on the prison. I know there is a drug issue in my local prison.

🙄🙄🙄🙄The woman saying to just let him go should keep her mouth shut and move along. These guys should have held this guy tell the police came. But it seems like they couldn't subdued him.
The job of a security guard is to simply observe and report, not assault people. So please explain _why_ they need training on how to secure people. Their job is to secure the premises, not any individual person. Apprehending thieves is the job of law enforcement. You aren't another one of those who thinks that security guards have the same power as law enforcement, are you? Because if you are, then that makes you a clown.
@@greenelephant1231 wrong their job is to detain shop lifters till police show up. Some companies security are just there for show but no that doesn't mean every security guy is fake.
Total waste of tax payer money esp with air support! This was a petty theft case with simple assault! This police dept and the watch commander on duty that night in charge of that zone should be embarrassed to bring such poor policing to the dept in which he serves! There was no mention of a weapon which would warrant this type of response and this blows my mind! Myself as a responding officer and first to make contact with the suspect would have had this guy into custody even before a second car backup had arrived! This only goes to show the lack of training these departments go through today and it is crazy!!!! Again I would be totally embarrassed as a police chief for my officers bringing on this type of presence for such a petty crime and my watch commander in charge that night would be going through a lot more training as well as the officers who responded leaving there assigned zone! Surely during this event there were other 911 calls that were not responded to in a timely manner as a result of this petty incident! Accountability is what needs to be demanded in this country anymore and we have a president who is trying to bring it back yet you idiots cry racism! Wake up America!!
Nice to hear at least one American is embarrassed, but considering the casual/widespread ownership of guns in your country, the cops have little option but to be cautious.

They actually weren’t weak they were just untrained on how to take down a guy who’s resisting. The middle guy was grabbing him around the chest holding him up and stabilizing him while the other two each had an arm. The middle gut should have gone for his legs 🦵 🦵

Great stuff. Camera caught everything. I say props to the prev loss team for giving their best while remaining cognizant that they could be criminally and civilly liable should the perp be injured.

@@RUclipsExplore777 Anything can potentially result in liability. However what they were doing has far less risk than more aggressive methods of restraint.
@@luke7522 The "guards" _were_ being aggressive. Re-watch the video. They had no right to lay hands on him. If the Los Angeles County D.A.'s Office wasn't so corrupt, the guards would be going to jail for battery. And for the record, Target doesn't allow its security guards to lay hands on anyone. So those guards were breaking both the law AND Target policy.

johnathan chen - It’s not really a security guards job to get physical (except bouncers). Yes we’re taught how to make a citizens arrest, but we’re told if they try to resist to not get too physical since they can take us to court & it’s the role of a police officer. We are not taught how to take someone down

Guy, unlike the shoplifter (or other criminal), the security guards are bound by strict rules against harming a suspect. Police are bound by that same ridiculous restraint, forcing them to use more officers to delicately, gently, subdue a suspect rather than just beating the fighting punk to a bloody pulp.
“Why did ya let him go?” “We have policies man.” 😂👎
Target doesn’t have the right to assault anyone; their policy is to not pursue a shoplifter leaving the store.
One of the criteria for making a stop, and it's the last one, is the thief passing "points of sale". He clearly satisfied that before leaving the store.
You let guys shoplift once, they will come back to shoplift again. The idiot thief here will think twice before trying to rob again.
They were Security Guards, not Target salesmen. They weren't assaulting him, they were trying to arrest him for stealing...which is against the law.
Stop trying to paint a thief as the victim. 😂
@@AnnaJo2000 Laying hands on someone without their permission is assault. And security have no powers of arrest, they aren't the police. Your family is guilty of stealing land from mine, but does that mean I can handcuff you? SMH

Earl Driskill White people stay strong my dude we got that high level testosterone
He didn't drink the soy.
They had no skill set to do anything ,
At 3:34 when you asked the security why they let him go, he said that they are only allowed 2 minutes to apprehend him, then they have to let him go.
I going to bet that the shoplifter knew about that 2 minute rule. That's why he struggled the way he did. He knew they were going to have to let him go.
All this for stealing a scrunchie to hold his man bun. Bet he pays the 99¢ next time.
He made a petty theft so much worse for himself, that was not smart.
The most pathetic attempt to arrest someone by 3 people ever! If they knew how to take someone down OR even pressure points, he would have been on the ground in seconds. NEVER EVER TRY TO RESTRAIN SOMEONE STANDING UP IF THEY RESIST ARREST, TAKE THEM TO THE GROUND IMMEDIATELY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE OFFICER!
that guy needs to be sent to judge Judy.
even in Fresno California someone shoplifted at target one time nobody done nothing if you go walmart they stop people from shoplifting.

Love folks who have never attempted to detain a physically resistant person always chiming in how it takes so many people. I swear for these internet yappers they should be given a taste of trying to cuff a resistant person and mind you there's no being able to beat them into submission to make it easy.
Bet most would be utterly surprise how difficult it is not to pin the person but to get two hands in cuffs that don't want to be there.
This popped up in my recommended! Very entertaining, good job catching it all👏🏽
LOL did u hear at the end? Security guard said - “we can’t hold them
For longer than two minutes so we let him go!”
Hahahaha yea sure bud

What happens after 2 minutes? I guess he must explode.
People be surprised how strong a mother fucker are I'm not saiding him but you will be surprised some people take 10 or more to take people down lol
Are strong
You can hold for longer then 2 minutes they just were embarrased they couldnt get him down all one of them had to do was wrap up his legs while the other two had him up top and take him down
The title of this video should read "THREE security guards let's ONE skinny shoplifter get away" 😂😂😂😂😂
Blaq Diamond I think they need to practice some take down techniques, I can't believe that 3 guys couldn't get him down and contained.
I know, some guy snatched a lady’s purse and was way bigger and I handled him down by myself. It’s a shame
Blaq Diamond agreed
If those security guys knew anything about arm locks, one guy could of held him down. They shouldn't be security, they're going to get beat up one day.
A A that happened
"You're not getting away from us dude?"
"Why'd you let him get away?"
"We...have a policy..."
Loss Prevention has a two minute rule to restrain and detain shoplifters if the two minutes are up and the haven't handcuffed the suspect yet then they have to let them go because it's more trouble than it's worth at that point
I CANT BELIEVE IT!! 3 GUY'S ON ONE AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL HIM??!!
So you just need to be short, fat, and unfit to qualify as a security guard.

Not my President Are you trolling or just trying to piss me off? Because you’re not funny. We can absolutely be sued lol. We are SECURITY not the police my man we can’t drop people left and right. Do your research there’s a reason those policies are in place because Target has been almost sued for those exact reason.

Plain clothing officers? Lol no but for sure places like this and Walmart have security teams hiding in plain sight. You are being watched 80% of the time if you have a certain look to you. A lot of times these people are on their third or fourth trip back within a week from stealing so their on a watch list. You're right about them being pro cops.

Many guards are not really trained in how to subdue someone. Their job is to observe and report as needed. Detain if possible but not at risk of injury.

@@Nihyre yes, black walls are much softer, thus weakening the sensation of pain in the ribs. White walls dish out pain.

Target and similar stores are partly to blame for this. If their policy is to let these crazies go, it just encourages them to continue and even escalate their crimes
Target security have a 2 minutes policy to apprehend shoplifters is because the suspect can sue if the security guards hurt him in anyway and that usually will happen if the struggle lasts longer that it should plus the Security Guards can sue Target too if they get badly hurt if a 10 minute struggle has happened
that addict knew if he went to jail, he wouldn't get his next fix, so he was fighting for that fix. that's why he was stealing. but the cops got that junkie anyway
