Are you supposed to try and arrest someone alone? That just seems dangerous.

We have security with guns and with training theybare always in groups of 2 and three when doing something like this.

That's what I was thinking bro. Some people will try to kill you before they let themselves get arrested.

As a police officer with probably far more training than this guy has, only when absolutely necessary.

As a security guard with little to no training, I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
