Staff Tackles and Chokes Deaf Shopper suspected of Shoplifting

This is what I know, The two guys who are deaf were in the Clothing store XXI and apparently they were shopping, Staff must have seen them do something to suspect them of stealing, but that doesn't have any support or facts. Before I started filming. The Big Black dude in Jeans who mighta been a store detective jumps and tackles the large hispanic deaf guy. from there I remembered my new phone and turned on the camera.)

Two deaf guys shopping, after buying some items they leave the store. The alarm goes off and the deaf people are tackled due to not being able to hear the alarm. His friend tries to explain and to show the security their receipts but they continue to choke him and pin him to the floor, pretty shocking :/

I embed the vid to make it more convenient :

What the hell! Are people that passive to just stand there and watch the guy choke the guy and video tape it and wait for security? How sickening for both parties. I would have stepped in regardless of the consequences.

That's how bad it can get.

When people are allowed to look over the public with no oversight themselves, they can get away with most anything.

I saw a 14 year old kid get his nose broken, both eyes swell shut, and split open from his hairline to his eyebrow by a (obviously steroided) muscle-bound security guard for stealing a bike lock at Wal-Mart.

I told the kid "don't say ANYTHING to this guy or the cops until you talk to a lawyer!!"

I hope he followed my advice...

I hear ya. It's too bad no one gave that security guard the old macho man randy savage elbow drop, or at least restrained him with the old jake the snake sleeper hold.

That's not just shocking, that's downright nauseating.

It's sad that there are many in that line of work who go to such lengths and that their aren't higher standards for applicants and sensitivity training.

Not only is it nauseating, it is down right sickening to watch.

The person who filmed the video should also feel bad about themselves as well for not stepping in and breaking this fiasco apart. Also, it would not have hurt to have had the police show up and explain to them what you saw happen. If they would have asked you to show them the video so that they could see and get an idea as to what happened, show them the video. After you show them the video, I bet the cops would have formed their own, and correct, opinion as to who was in the wrong.

You know, maybe some people in this line of work do this because they know they aren't smart enough to become a cop in the first place. I would have thought that more places would have a tougher sensitivity training regiment to keep things like this from happening. I would also think that stores would also have a strict hiring process for applicants to keep this, and legal action against the company, from happening in the near future.

Just my $.02 worth of opinion......
