Reserved parking strikes again

So you have no more information than anyone else. If they feel the need to investigate they will. And if they deem the use of force unnecessary then they can go after the guard. But to just side with the driver just because he’s a driver when you have no facts isn’t the correct thing to do. For all any of us know he could’ve came at the guard with a winch bar and then another driver hid the winch bar before the cops showed up. If we’re just talking without facts why stop at saying the guard instigated it? If you park where you’re not supposed to then don’t be surprised when you get woken up and told to move.

And from my experience, yes I still have energy after 12 hours, since you asked.

 

Yep, even more so if he reaches for a weapon. Its game time then. I can guarantee I will go to slide lock before he clears the holster.

Security guards job is to contain if possible and call LEO's, not go Johnny Rambo swat team mall cop WWE take downs.

 

I guarantee when you called they informed you that it was currently an open investigation therefore they could not speak or share and details whatsoever of the case.

And yes, I've worked 12 hours got off went to Home Depot picked up tile, loaded it all up then went home and was on my hands and knees for 12 hours installing it.

Not everyone out here drops dead after a 12 hour work day.

Its called adrenaline... When your in a fight, it comes out.

Geez.

 

As most drivers have noted just wait for the investigation to be completed. If the driver was wrong or the guard was let the law handle it. Deadwood seems to make a guilty verdict before the facts are all in. Don't be so quick to judge.

 

Agreed. When talking with the original police investigator he emphasized how Oklahoma was a “stand your ground” state and the security guard had no obligation to deescalate the situation. So he could theoretically instigate the problem and then use his firearm to “solve” the problem he just created.

When speaking to the D.A. I said how the security guard could have approached this deferentially: “Hey brother, I hate to do this to you but I’m going to have to ask you to leave, I hate this - it’s the least favorite part of my job but if you don’t they’re gonna make me call the cops and neither of us want that.” If he did that, only a sociopath would attack him.

More than likely, he didn’t - which I admit he didn’t have to. In the same way, the driver who was approached abrasively can be surly right back to him without being threatened with a firearm. I think the D.A. agreed with me. Feel really good that the driver will get a fair shake.

 

Wrong. They said they had gotten statements from both driver and security guard and that they found no video evidence for them to review. The same info they would have shared with the TV stations had any of them cared to follow up on the story.

 

Sorry, I dont believe you.

 

Latest report is that the security guard committed suicide.

Facebook social media post from someone who knew him. I called KFOR in OKC and gave them the story tip. Hope they follow up on this and flesh it out.
