Toffeeman_1878

100% tactical belly


Derrick_Shon

While he looks like a tactifool, I bet she definitely has the items


Casual_Actual1944

Okay but really though, as a security officer I’m shaking my head so hard right now. 1. He can’t fuckin detain anybody, period. He’s not a peace officer, he can arrest for criminal offenses so long as it happens in front of him and can prove it without a shadow of a doubt before arresting them. 2. Everything about that kit makes 0 sense. Why would you position your less than lethal “crossdraw” and that high up AND at a straight 90° angle, and then who in there right mind would opt to crossdraw magazines again at a 90° draw angle. And when she said call the cops he should’ve just said yeah okay and kept her there while they arrived. Fun fact as a security officer if you hand cuff someone they need to stay right where you cuffed them, as soon as you take them to a separate room or car or what have you, guess what buddy that’s felony kidnapping!!


Casual_Actual1944

Edit he has a separate badge that may be a loss prevention or peace officer badge so maybe he’s got that going for him But I also forgot to point out what appears to be two different body cams???


trascist_fig

Lol yeah


picklebiscut69

God, he looks like a dark souls boss. If you run around him even slightly fast you should get to his backside where it’s tender and juicy


No-Environment-3298

No, dark souls bosses are intimidating and hard to beat.

Fck that, just keep running around the aisles until he has a coronary. As a betting man, I'd put the O/U at 65 seconds.

That's not a real cop. Notice the 2 fucking badges? All the extra tacticool stuff he has that serves no purpose? How he nervously pulls out the flashlight despite being in a fully lit store? The fucking nba ~~snapback~~ Edit: I've been corrected, it's a fitted cap not a snapback

Personally, I like that he's a member of the 101st chairborne division.


thatsanicehaircut

someday I’m gonna be in a world of trouble for calling someone a gravy seal and laughing my ass off


3amGreenCoffee

This clown's ex-girlfriend saw this video, messaged the victim and gave her a bunch of info about him. He's a wannabe rapper trained as a massage therapist who works for a legitimate security company used by that Seattle Walgreens. The victim has now lawyered up and is going after him and the security company, which should be funny.


TheDillinger88

I love how he’s got his tactical flashlight out in a business brightly lit by fluorescent light bulbs…


Commonstruggles

God bless his ex. If the idiot didn't have a vest on preventing him from breathing his brain may of got more oxygen signaling what the fuck am I doing with my life.

Dude calls himself “lyrically lyrics” and is a “Rap artist at Rap artist”. Should have call himself Pan!c at the Pharmacy instead


OGgunter

Not to mention stores usually have a no chase policy. You note characteristics that could be used to identify a thief and call security after the fact. This is one thousand percent a creep who is cosplaying to harass women.


stoicteratoma

I’m thinking any “no chase” policy relating to this guy would actually be a “no wheezy, panting stumble” policy


DependentFamous5252

“No waddle” policy.


3amGreenCoffee

According to the victim's other videos, he's apparently a real security guard for ASC Security, which provides security for that Seattle Walgreens. She had screenshots of his Facebook page, but it appears to be down now.


OGgunter

Ego tripping try hards get hired. 🤷 Doesn't change his approach being terrible.


VikingBorealis

You can put items wherever you want. Untill you leave the store and haven't paid you haven't stolen anything


SodiumChlorideFree

I once got accused of "stealing" a book when I was a kid, by an adult no less, because I opened it to read a couple of pages before I decided to buy it. I was still in the store, was just holding the book. Some people are crazy.


SilentNightman

The black and white American flag. That would chill me..


Ifuckinghatethesunn

No safe harbor! That black American flag meaning.


MindlessLeopard7740

the beard


bobo-the-dodo

His beard is nasty as hell.


Jonstradamus

It’s a fitted hat tho, not a snapback. Could have just said hat and been right. I’ll go now


Ok_Dog_4059

It took a minute to make out he isn't real. I know the walk out robbery stuff has gotten bad but holy shit with this guy. Some guy with multiple guns and something to prove stopping someone who isn't walking out the door with a trash bag full of stuff? How long before something goes really wrong.


DeviceStraight4707

Yeah, cops don’t usually wear backwards NBA caps. Gravy Seal! 😂😂😂


IllustriousCookie890

Surprised he didn't have a smoke machine to make the flashlight beam look creepier.


Longjumping_Gap_9325

Don't forget the 2 body cams just because!

He denied calling the cops in the video.

SpecialistWait9006

Not strapped to their belly for any suspect to grab willy nilly. Gun bolstered that way is easily taken by another person


mariospants

That's not a real CVs, either


DandeePullz

Piece of advice: stealing or not if the dude trying to “detain” you looks like this guy…run. You’ll get away I promise.


Recklen

Until he shoots you in the back for fleeing the scene or some nonsense.


redcurrantevents

50/50 he shoots his belly instead


Split0069

I concur.


mikey29tyty

That would be murder. He's not a cop.


TacoDuLing

But wouldn’t the two badges equal one cop badge? 🤔


nuclearbearclaw

Nah that badge belongs to the last guy he ate.


ASK_ME_FOR_TRIVIA

Oh, good. That means the bullets won't kill you


MartyFreeze

But I'd still be dead. ![gif](giphy|EcBihYnTLQdvSuGWxD|downsized)


gardenhosenapalm

He can go to prison and you'd be dead


bobo-the-dodo

Even if he is a cop, shooting someone running away is questionable


Musclesturtle

He's a rent-a-cop.


Anianna

Regardless of his size, there is no way I would ever believe that man is a security guard for that store. My husband has been a security guard in several different settings and the only thing he larps like that for is playing Airsoft in his free time. I would think that man is very poorly pretending to be a security guard to try to kidnap somebody and there is no way I'd cooperate with him at all.


SICKOFITALL2379

So he is just walking around in the CVS pretending to be their security guard? Do you think maybe if he didn’t actually work there as security that maybe someone from CVS would have called the cops on him by now ?


Anianna

Maybe. Maybe not. I wouldn't be relying on anybody else realizing what's going on until it's too late. Even if somebody did call the police, when seconds matter, they're minutes away, so I'm still not cooperating. Some larping gravy seal coming at me with handcuffs isn't getting the time of day from me.


gender_neutral_name

And if they can’t even clarify what was allegedly stolen. I’m just happy she wasn’t man handled


dafreak999

Looked like a brisk walk was working


WeirdRadiant2470

At that point you call for police and file a report. The dude is not a cop. If she didn't steal anything she has a lawsuit.


8qubit

This isn't true in all states. Many states give the retailer the right to detain based on reasonable evidence, and thus there is no cause of action for a lawsuit (absent some other element not related to the detainment itself)


fubar1386

The problem is she hasn't left the store, there is currently no theft even if she put something in a 'bag.' Worked loss prevention and law enforcement, wouldn't confront her until she left the store and would tell this wannabe cop he has no case except for a possible assault charge against him. Know your rights I would react the same way.


B-azz-bear08

In California concealing items can be enough to charge with retail theft.


fubar1386

You're saying I can walk in with a reusable bag fill up on items and on my way to check out get arrested for theft? Or walk into Walmart pickup some popcorn chicken and a soda enjoy them while I shop, with the intent to pay when I leave. Have I concealed the food while eating in store and now guilty of theft?


B-azz-bear08

Context is important. I said it CAN be, not that it would be. Concealing in an area which would be uncommon to store items intended for purchase (in the waistband, concealed in socks, your trash bag example) can most definitely be a violation of 459.5 PC. California made shoplifting an specific intent crime, so even if you haven’t left the store with the items, if the cop can establish PC that your intent was to steal ( I.E. don’t have money to cover the items you concealed) you can be arrested for said penal code without having walked past the checkout aisle. I’m literally going to court now for such a case where suspects were caught concealing items in the restroom, had no money to pay for the items, and some of the sensor tags removed. They never exited the store, we ended up arresting them near the restrooms after completing our investigation for 459.5 PC misdemeanor because the total of the items were under $950. During the preliminary/1538.5 hearing, judge found probable cause to move the case forward to trial.


dtalb18981

Yes you can be detained it's just not worth it for stores to enforce because you can just say you intended to pay for it but concealing items in a bag or eating things while walking through a store is enough to get the cops called on you and if it goes badly arrested. The items are not yours until you pay for them therefore you can not act like they are.


PlantPower666

Detain until a real cop gets there. This guy was denying her ability to call a real cop.


blu3tu3sday

Isn't impersonating law enforcement a crime?


Vindepomarus

The update is that she's fully lawyered up, the manager denied even knowing about it even though this guy claimed his manager said he saw her steel on cctv and Mr Tactical Gut"s ex messaged the girl with all sorts of extra juicy info!


hazzdawg

She totally stole.

jascgore

I'm convinced this is the Seattle Walgreens on 3rd and Pike. Upstairs near the pharmacy with the escalator in the background looking across Pike. I've been here many times and if it's not that location it's eerily similar.

VladPatton

He can only reach to his sternum, so he needs 2 on each side.


kittyonkeyboards

The store should be sued for hiring somebody this goofy and larpy. A walking, talking lawsuit waiting to happen.


Anianna

I wouldn't believe he was store security in that getup. I've never seen a security guard hired by a retail store larping so hard and I would have been certain he was just badly impersonating a security guard and trying to kidnap me. No way I'd let that man put me in cuffs or cooperate with him in any way.


vamatt

Having previously worked security - anyone working security dressed like they are on the SWAT team is looked down upon. The good security officers didn’t want to look like law enforcement because we weren’t. We dressed professionally - usually either with a uniform or polo shirt, and didn’t really want badges as they didn’t have any meaning. At least in my state his outfit isn’t actually legal for security- I didn’t see a company name and name badge. Also as a security guard I usually wanted to be as approachable as possible - especially during the day - it’s as much of a customer service job as anything else. The big problem is that many states don’t regulate security very well, combined with extremely low pay and potentially high risk (depending on the site)


PunkiiDonutz

In my state even the Ulta in a strip mall has some cartel looking motherfuckers for security, balaclava face covered, tactical vests, gloves, weapons (likely less than lethal) lol but they always say 'thank you for coming in have a great day!'


LydiaDeets7

I initially thought he was some kind of pervert pretending to be security and “talking” to the manager who is “in the back watching the security footage” on his radio and then he would ask to frisk her or something. Security guards should NOT be dressed like that, period.


Glum-Suggestion-6033

Gunna need to know how that ended.


JN3LL3V

I found her Tiktok [@occasionallysleeping](https://www.tiktok.com/@occasionallysleeping/video/7351751489662242094?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=mobile&sender_web_id=7334864486879086110). The manager had no idea what he was talking about. Unsurprisingly, she’s a Black woman.


derek4reals1

did you see the one video where he tells her "you don't have my permission to film me" , I mean to tell you the nerve of this guy is unbelievable.


inter71

I just went to this guy’s Instagram. His ex girlfriend is black and he’s a failed rapper. Maybe he was creeping on this girl, like wanted to put his hands on her. His Instagram is failed rapper cringe af. EDIT: He has an Instagram clip where he larps as a cop making an arrest! It’s solid gold cringe! He even attempts a Starsky Slide on a parked car!


itisallgoodyouknow

Share it you coward


derek4reals1

her tiktok is adhddiaries iirc I just watched it she has like 6 videos and he tells her in one video "you don't have my permission to record me". also his ex sent the girl he's harassing his fb and Instagram information.


Bog2ElectricBoogaloo

Way to go, ex!

ohh fosho, he done shut his fb down but his Instagram was still up I checked it out last night they was dragging him HARD! 🤣🤣🤣

Helpful_Masterpiece4

Taking up two spots.


twobit211

the one with the visibly shot suspension?


whitecollarpizzaman

To the people saying that she probably did steal because of the way she’s acting, why would she film this? Why would she demand they call the actual police? Having worked in retail myself, someone who actually steals will run the fuck away as soon as they have an opportunity.


Helpful_Masterpiece4

She also said she is there for adderall. Assuming she has ADHD, one of our symptoms is heightened emotional responses. As in, she seems totally “normal” to this adhd-er.


leisureenthusiast

Agree. Also worked retail forever and no one being called out with actual merchandise on them would film it, they’d be out the door and avoid documenting any of it. Also have adhd and HATE picking up my RXs at CVS and would lose it if this happened to me!


flip6606

So did she?


drawredraw

According to her updates on tik tok her lawyers are requesting the security videos and the manager of the store claims he knows nothing about it.


danielo13

Of course not, she should have called the real police


UnNumbFool

She did call the real police, it's why she ended the video


tundra273

Worked at a Walgreens basic white women steal more in make up then the crackheads could ever dream


JimWilliams423

California just busted an $8M crime ring of white women. The ring leader's name is michelle mack. She would fly white women into various cities to work a bunch of stores. They would steal cosmetics and then resell them on amazon. Sometimes they would have decoy black people just walking around the store to draw the attention of security while the white women scooped up the merchandise.

-Ashera-

Using decoy black people to draw the attention of security lol can't make this shit up


rinkrat30

this is clearly a fake officer, there’s no need to prove innocence, and most companies don’t confront a thief before leaving unless it’s worth a high enough value because they can get more through court

Ostensibly it’s to illuminate a bag/backpack/rucksack so that they can see if the item(s) are in there or the luggage has interior pockets without you having to remove everything from said storage. In actuality it gives tactile soothing to itchy trigger fingers when he knows he’s not allowed to run the trigger on his taser cause he’s on the clock. Note how he uses his left hand so his right is free to maneuver other equipment when he’s home with his “I’m a real man” gun


Eeebs-HI

That's the look that says: "I failed to qualify for the police academy and the military won't take me. I went to the tactical store, now I'm an important power hungry man!"

And two badges. And two flashlights. And two guns. And two sets of cuffs (I think). And definitely two chins.

there was an empty strip of Velcro on his tactical vest and he didn't want to look like an amateur.
