North American Union Police in California, have they arrived?

Originally posted by ModernAcademiaSecret unmarked police showed up with North American Union patches on their shoulders and 9MM hand guns on their sides.

How come I can't find anything about them on the internet?

I dont know too many private firms that carry guns...this shows that theres something fishy going on...C'mon a 9mm? If they were like the private firms that protect neighborhoods and buildings they would have a flashlight, radio, and maybe some mace. At most a tazer...but a 9mm? They also had bullet vests on from what I notced....thats a step up from the mall security if you ask me...

As some security companies use as their motto the job of a security officer is to "detect, deter, observe and report." Security officers are not normally required to make arrests (but have the authority to make a citizen's arrest) or otherwise act as police officers, except in some (notably United States) jurisdictions in which the security officer is invested with arrest powers like those of a county sheriff.

In contrast to the above mentioned motto, a Private Security Officer's actual primary duty is prevention of crime. Security personnel do enforce company rules and can act to protect lives and property. In fact, they frequently have a contractual obligation to provide these actions. Security Officers are often trained to perform arrest and control procedures (including handcuffing and restraints), operate emergency equipment, perform first aid, CPR, take accurate notes and write effective reports, and perform other tasks as required by the property they are protecting. Many security officers are required to go through additional training mandated by the state for the carrying of weapons such as batons, firearms, and pepper spray.

Some officers are required to complete police certification for special duties, such as Private Police Officers. Positions are also set to grow in the U.S., with 350,000 new security jobs expected over the next decade.[1] In recent years, due to elevated threats of terrorism, some security officers are required to have bomb-threat training and/or emergency crisis training.

I am confused. Maybe its because I am an American. I also am confused why anyone would ever say that the Americans were acting like idiots and that the Mexicans should "triple slap" them. This is AMERICA! If it was MEXICO then I would agree with you. Its already too late for a solution, so maybe we should invite a revolution! Im locked and loaded! I am also sick and tired of ilegal aliens having rights in this country at all. But since the US gov ignores the problem lets fix it with blood, our gov does it all of the time, vietnam, iraq, grenada etc. The only people who should have any rights in this country are citezens and visitors on a visa.

The Major would like to congratulate the person responsible for video taping this event. They have managed to capture the elusive rent-a-cop on tape, and outside of it's usual habitat of shopping malls and volume retailers. The Major is overjoyed that this type of investigative prowess is demonstrated on a daily basis by the upstanding citizenry of the Major's good old U.S. of A. It takes a keen sense to root out a mysterious and enigmatic occurrence like this, however, the Major would be much more impressed if the video taping sleuth was able to do the same with gainful employment.

Dismissed.
