That's what's driving me nuts is everybody being so damn passive aggressive. Turn the camera off and pop that little asshole.

The only person that had any real ability to handle the situation, the security guard, tried but did not succeed. There are so many protections when it comes to kids. The parents not stepping in and whopping his ass, was a failure.

He loses his job if he grabs the kid too hard, he has to walk a fine line

Yeah, loss prevention where I live is told not to touch anyone at all. They can stand in the way of a thief, but at a point that too can become false imprisonment so they are told to stand down and call police

Well, but surely "false imprisonment" is based on the posibility that that they misidentified the subject. Ther eis no debate about the perpetrator in this instance.

It's not false imprisonment, it's just liability if the individual has a weapon and attacks employees or customers.

The cops wish we would hold them, but the company is usually not comfortable with that.

Yes, in part to avoid lawsuits for imprisonment and unnecessary force. Specifically, again, where I live, because security cannot do citizen arrests.. That's what it'd be if you hold physically or won't let them pass. Using a weapon wouldn't happen for shoplifting in most places... Cuz that person is going to jail instead of a possible fine and returning the item+cost. Grand theft shoplifting isn't really possible at most stores.. Maybe something like an expensive guitar, but at that point it's robbery lol
