He's probably retired.

An outstanding job all around. Useful security guards, it would seem, are not just urban legend.

I'd love to know who that guy is, where he learned his shit, and why he's only working as a security guard. Frigging Securitas didn't train him like that.

Thought the same thing when I watched it.

Thank you for this. I would have been less civil pointing out the obvious.

He's probably retired.

Good point, but my question still holds-I'm going to guess he isn't retired from NYPD

Also, this is good fodder for the next time some asshole tells me you can't beat a drawn gun. Sure you can, especially if the person holding it doesn't think you're going to fight.

I'd say it is very likely he is a retired NYPD cop.

How do you explain the lack of collateral damage?

Real easy he wasn't shooting on crowded NYC street.
I quess you could have done better.

One of the robbers was wounded, and the other two were chased out the door.

The one man who was hit, 18-year old Mark Spivey, is still recovering from the wounds and is not cooperating with police, they said.

Just a side observation. I've always felt that criminal conspiracy charges should be levied against anyone who doesn't give up their cohorts in the crime. You want to be a hero on the street? Fine. You serve your buddies sentences for them.

Back on topic, kudos to the security guard!
