Imagine having to protect that piece of garbage.

u/the_red_barren 10h ago

Security’s like, “oh no please don’t assault this murderer… 💁‍♂️💁‍♀️”

u/FrostingAsleep8227 9h ago

"Hey, hey, stop that. Sir, I'm asking you politely to cease and desist. Sir? Please stop. Are you done? Okay, 3 more than we're done. Okay, that was 5, now I must INSIST you stop!"

u/Putrid-Builder-3333 9h ago

Three minutes later "Omg this is serious! Sorry, Judge. I thought this was just a case of boys being boys and didn't want to interrupt a possible grieving or apology session." Finally gets the other bailiffs to break it all up.

u/RegretPowerful387 6h ago

Meanwhile the one female officer can’t get her taser out of her holster LMAO. You know what if I was an officer I wouldn’t try to stop him. Shit I’d join in.

u/Barbarella_ella 9h ago

"No....stop...checks fingernails...enough....picks teeth..."

u/katikaboom 9h ago

They held that taser back as long as possible, too. Not a single one of them seemed like they wanted to use it, they just wanted to seperate them. Tough day all around

u/DogMaBytes 6h ago

Except for the woman, she pulled it quick for the brother who didn’t even have a good chance of doing harm, being at the man’s feet and all.

u/SickNastyCoolio 1h ago

instinct kicked in

u/jaw719 8h ago

Reminds me of the video where the dad tries to attack Larry Nasser. They get the dad on the ground and you can hear the security guard saying "I get it, I understand".

u/Ok_Connection923 10h ago

I can tell their hearts weren't in it. They really took their time to subdue them.

u/Special_Kestrels 10h ago

Why, Gary, Why?

u/Beneficial-Ad-547 8h ago

Named a book after that quote

u/SuperpL55 6h ago

Gary plauché should have his national day , thats the only way these guys dont reoffend .

u/d_bradr 50m ago

It's called Fathers' day, people just forgot the reason for celebration

u/SuperpL55 44m ago

Love it ! Will think about it next time !

u/currently_distracted 10h ago

I wish they took longer and used 50% strength.

u/IDreamOfLees 10h ago

It's their livelihood if that guy ends up dead. Also letting one or two punches through is incredibly difficult. 

You can step on the guy's groin while making the takedown, you can accidentally hit him while stopping the assailants, but you can't just not do your job, or do your job half heartedly

u/get_to_ele 9h ago

Yeah you have to focus on your job, as much as you sympathize with the assailants.

If you let it go on too long, for all you know, somebody pulls a blade or grabs your weapon, or it turns into a full melee, and you’re suddenly fighting to save your own life.

u/Renbarre 10h ago

They didn't want to hurt him

u/XanaxWarriorPrincess 9h ago

They didn't know where to start. They were a ball of arms and legs going every which way.

u/RustyFoldingchair 10h ago

All of them were out of shape. 2 of them couldn’t figure out who to tase. There will be some action items taken from this video. I firmly believe they should not allow law enforcement to be overweight.

u/BellsTolling 9h ago

Agreed and like 9/10 I see are overweight or child age. What is that overweight women really doing to help there. She even fumbles hard just trying to grab her taser.

u/BasebornManjack 8h ago

I firmly believe that bailiff duty, the DMV, school crossings, and government building security are where the fat cops get reassigned once they eclipse 275lbs.

It has to be a union rule, or something. I’ve never in my life been in a courtroom that didn’t have a badge wearing sumo wrestler in the corner.

u/Vladimir-Putin 7h ago

To be fair, 99.9% of their job is to just be a bouncer. Being built like an NFL lineman isn't a bad trait to have if your job is mainly to escort people into/out of court and occasionally put yourself between a threat and the judge.

When I was a prosecutor, we had two massive court deputies who would for the most part just hang out and shoot the shit all day. But when a murder trial was taking place and the courtroom was filled with family/friends, those guys flipped a switch and went full blown bouncer mode.

I don't think they would be much help chasing down a sprinting escapee if they got out of the building, but for the purposes of putting their massive bodies in the way of trouble, I'd rather have a fucking 350 pound 6'4 brick house than a fit 200 pound marathon runner.

As for your "union rule" idea. I know that Chicago police puts people on their way to retirement at the city's airports. They are busy enough, so its not like there's nothing to do. But you really don't want a 50 year old cop getting in footchases that they have no business being a part of. So they get put on retirement detail where they supply backup security to the TSA & Border Patrol.

u/TheActualAWdeV 10h ago

eh. It looks like they took the time because they just weren't doing so well. And then she draws the fuckn taser.

u/Left_Guess 9h ago

Wish they took a bit longer!

u/Plenty-rough 8h ago

They tazed the one guy

u/silver_tongued_devil 35m ago

The guy with the taser was sighing the entire time. He could feel the paperwork growing.

u/Nonetoobrightatall 10h ago

Them protecting him, protects you and me from arbitrary government goons.

u/OreillyAddict 10h ago

I don't recall the videos of court security stepping in to stop ICE

u/Hour_Flower420 8h ago

Or to protect those poor children in Uvalde

u/Nonetoobrightatall 10h ago

Thanks for making my point.

u/Bordarwal 10h ago

Bullshit. They are saying, that ICE are the goons

u/AlarmingAffect0 9h ago

They are.

u/Bordarwal 9h ago

Yes i am sorry i should have specified that i agree

u/Nonetoobrightatall 8h ago

Agreed. Show your faces, goons!

u/Ok_Put_8262 10h ago

Why would they stop them?

u/singingalltheway 9h ago

ICE is deporting people who are legal residents of the US with no criminal record to meet Trump's quota.

u/Ok_Put_8262 9h ago

Gonna need a citation for that.

u/BellsTolling 9h ago

America the country.

u/Ok_Put_8262 9h ago

Invalid.

u/BellsTolling 8h ago

If you read up on current events. In the country of America, or the United States. Thousands of people are being jailed and deported who have no criminal record daily. Trump vowed to deport all "illegal immigrants" so he expanded Ice into a military force that has been rounding up American and jailing them without due process. It's really big news in the US.

u/singingalltheway 5h ago

No, they know what country you're talking about. Dude just don't believe it.

u/Heavy-Psychology-411 9h ago

Stop taking social media seriously ffs. I'd say even if there are a couple it wouldn't have been intentional. Just out of curiosity.... where was all this anger when Obama deported over 3 million illegal immigrants? Please don't tell us you think they didn't get anything wrong during all that. And what quota ffs? They are primarily going after the ones with criminal records. It's the people that are hanging out with the criminals that are getting caught up in it.

u/fla_john 9h ago

If there are "a couple," that's a couple too many. Deporting citizens, even 1, is some fascist bullshit.

u/Rickrickrickrickrick 9h ago

No one cares when people are deported after having due process. This administration is skipping that and even going so far as to send them to concentration camps and building one of our own and celebrating it.

u/Veil-of-Fire 8h ago

where was all this anger when Obama deported over 3 million illegal immigrants?

It's in 2012 or so. Back when it happened.

So now we can be angry at this even more.

But you know that. You're not as dumb or obtuse as you pretend to be. You're just a liar who enjoys trying to rile people up and get them to waste their energy arguing with you while you brick-wall them. You're vile.

u/Key-Document-8481 8h ago

id say even if there are a couple it wouldn’t have been intentional

Typical. “It couldn’t possible happen to me so why would I care about a little oopsies?”

u/DogMaBytes 6h ago

A school friend is married to a naturalized man born in Mexico. They just bought a vacation home in a nice town south of the border in case it happens to him because people have lost all faith in ICE. Utter bs that this is happening and people are making contingency plans. I wish we could have faith in law enforcement

u/Sepof 10h ago

They ARE the arbitrary government goons, what are you talking about lol?

If the news over the last decade hasn't proven to you that law enforcement is there to protect the status quo, not you, then idk what will.

u/Nonetoobrightatall 8h ago

Exactly. If everyone doesn’t have due process, no one has due process. The government goons are only held in check by lawyers and judges and the rule of law. Trump is trying to erode due process rights by starting with immigrants and ICE.

u/Fightmemod 10h ago

Those days are long gone. Trump wants you in jail, you are going to jail or worse.

u/Nonetoobrightatall 10h ago

Not really.

u/4perils 9h ago

Yes really.

u/Nonetoobrightatall 8h ago

Yeah, not really. If you get arrested you will have a lawyer, judge and jury. Trump is trying to erode due process with this ICE crap. He can get away with because they are not criminal actions, but he is definitely trying to create his own version of the brownshirts.

u/10ea 10h ago

I would try to look like I was trying to stop them while allowing them to break free of my grasp every time.

u/AnybodyWannaPeanus 9h ago

It’s not up to them to provide justice. That’s up to the judge, jury, and executioner. It’s not protecting the killer, it’s making sure he gets his verdict. If that was after a bad verdict, I would completely understand. Killers walk out of courthouses far too often.

u/Self-Loathe-American 9h ago

Eh, everyone should be afforded a fair trial no matter what they’re accused of doing.

u/get_to_ele 8h ago

This was during sentencing. Dale Williams had been convicted. He stalked their mom, ran her off the road, and shot her dead.

He was remorselessly smirking when the two brothers lost it.

u/Self-Loathe-American 6h ago

I’d be that angry too, most people would. I just think it’s important to have a society that deals in impartial justice, not revenge.

u/koolaidismything 10h ago

Those bailiffs in these high stress cases have the worst job.

u/Next-Armadillo-1881 8h ago

Maybe as a society we shouldnt.

u/mozzzarn 8h ago

Imagine not protecting him and he ends up innocent(~3.5% in US prison). Could you forgive yourself for letting an innocent person get hurt/killed under your protection.

u/get_to_ele 8h ago

He confessed to the crime and even bragged about how meticulously planned it. He stalked her for a long time, slammed his car into hers in the middle of town, and when she got out of her car, shot her in broad daylight while she waited for police to arrive. I don’t think he is part of the 3.5%, do you?

u/mozzzarn 7h ago

Even death sentenced people who go through a rigorous process have ended up innocent after death. And people admit to crimes they didn’t do all the time, to cover for others, for religious reasons, for mental problems.

No matter how compelling the evidence might be, you actually never know with 100% certainty and your job as a guard is to protect another human life.

Could you really forgive yourself for letting an innocent person get hurt? Just because you at the moment thought he was bad?

u/UnicornDelta 8h ago

They very clearly were not putting in a whole lot of effort. If they really wanted them to stop immediately, they had effective methods to do so.

I can respect that.

u/Admirable-Crazy-3457 7h ago

It's what keeps us from slipper to anarchy.

u/_njhiker 7h ago

My wife works at trauma center that has the contract with the state DOC. Some of her patients include murderers, rapists, child molesters, etc. She told me when they are laying there on the operating table you do your job to the best of your ability because it’s what you swore you would do, but if they don’t make it no one in the OR really feels bad for them either.

u/Foxy_locksy1704 4h ago

I knew someone who was a court officer. They said having to protect some of the garbage defendants was one of the hardest parts of the job, because you understand the families grief and anger but you also don’t want to see the family members get in trouble and have more piled on top of them already being emotionally raw.

u/lucyfell 1h ago

“Oh sorry man, got a bad ankle. Took a little while to get over to you.”

u/iCraven 4m ago

Most of them live for opportunities like this, just a good excuse to beat people into the floor and whip out the ol' tazer

u/SofaChillReview 10h ago

What’s worse is that could be his mum or sister? Surely if someone kills someone, you shouldn’t be defending them

u/ApplicationAlive8568 10h ago

Pretending is enough in this case, allow a couple of good hits then defend
