I used to work in the Metro Mall while attending GA State. I was shown this video because a friend of mine still works at one of the stores.
A while ago a report was made about a mother who was tased by an Atlanta MALL SECURITY GUARD named Darrien Long.
here is a youtube link to your report.

Now i would like for you to watch the ridiculous behavior that Channel 2 seems to be supporting. For the sake of time I will only link 2 videos taken from Mr. Longs personal `camera.
A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8DF2tBpSm0
B: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhszd1PsIGlt09qnDj
Now to start off:
-in BOTH videos he is instigating fights
-he pushes and shoves people for no reason (which is illegal for ANY security personnel)
-Video A: Mr. (not officer) Long was the one who endangered the child. Police officers are TRAINED to be aware of the surroundings, he did not take ANY PRECAUTION in avoiding the children-- which he was yelling at for "yelling." WHICH BY THE WAY WERE OUTSIDE BY THE BUS STOP which is technically beyond the lines of his "jurisdiction"
-Video B: Mr.Long is AGAIN instigating a fight with people across the street from the building he works for. He instigates fights and also hinders local business.
-He has been acting this way for over a year. This year in particular his behavior has escalated to the point he finds it necessary to taser people, wherein he has no LEGAL right to do so.
I am aiming to set the record straight. This is NOT how we fix the problem. From a sociological and psychology perspective, this just makes it worse.
This man should be, at the very least, arrested for public disturbance, child endangerment, as well as aggravated assault and battery.
