Who knows what led up to it. I don't. You don't. Maybe nothing, maybe she did break the law. If it was nothing actionable than the cops need to be removed from the force and possibly charged. Given everything that is going on there I don't think they are sitting around with nothing to do saying "let's go find someone to pick on" even if they were the small percentage of officers who would even be inclined to behave like that.
Yes, they can be charged under law the for security guards but that isn't something that the average street cop can charge or enforce, it will have to come from the police commission that regulates security guards- and I hope it does. It will only apply to the ones who have openly claimed to be providing security to people or business owners, but it's hopefully a start.
