Aaannndd Youtube demonetized this video, lol. Wtf?
anyone think he is just a pervert who wants to frisk women
When your name is Venager I understand why you act like a loser
Asks the question, Which is worse, a cop or a wannabe cop?
"Unfortunately, much too often than it should, freedom of press or freedom of speech is only freedom of press or freedom of speech until said freedom turns into the truth and makes the powers that be uncomfortable!!!!"

She has the legal right of self defense, 2nd Amendment now kicks in! This is a phony security, like to see his criminal record! Good money says he's a felon with a gun! Lets See!
why didn’t she just call the police instead of repeating him to call for over 10mins
“He was wearing body cameras but none were functional, at least that was like a real cop” 😂😅😂😅 THAT WAS GOLD 😎
What good is a BPV if half your belly hangs out of it. What a slob! 😅
He's a dangerous Predator !
Call 911 on this guy. He obviously is a cop reject and he never made it to the academy.
To sum it up.., Society is spitting out of control
The wana be cop sure has his derelict understand as just being rehearsal and his commands practice the above. Laughable in it's entirety.
Impersonating law enforcement, battery, harassment, for starters. Lying guard Vinegar and Walgreens need to be sued.
I will never go to Walgreens again. They do not care for their customers at all. They always do this crap. Then my insurance paid for my meds and Walgreens charged cash from my account. They said sorry but we don't refund our prescription mistakes. So they cheated me out of $167.00 the end
His cosplay is reaching absurd levels to compensate for zero skills dealing with humans. Shouldn’t he face legal issues for working unlicensed too. We all know cops license fixation after all..
Was really hoping to hear your take on this! Glad you did a video on it
Right from jump, before even getting into the subject matter… That has got to be one of the dumbest store security guard uniforms I have seen. Is he in a drug store, or a trench in Crimea? Why is there constantly a lit flashlight in Mr. Vinegar's hand in a lit store? What is with the copy of a NY Police Detective badge? <Noting the Sea Gate police detective badge he displays has the words police and detective. In many states, also under Federal law (18 USC 716 and sometimes 18 USC 1028) wearing and displaying a police department badge without actually currently holding that department's office is itself a crime.
{As addendum, the Sea Gate PD is a private home owner's association security force holding "Special Police" status inside NYC (similar to NYC's Lefrak City or C0-0p City Police) with minimal police authority outside their private properties.}
Why is Mr. Vinegar waving handcuffs in his hand? Has he never heard of a handcuff case? LoL absolutely the stupidest ad for his employers imaginable. Have his employers never heard of a uniform belt? Do his employers not actually regulate or inspect his appearance? His outfit is absurd for the work assignment.
I do think that a radio notification of a possible shoplifting from a fellow employee, or agent of, observing such on a remote camera is a reasonable grounds for an investigative stop by a store security guard. However, even the police have limits on when they can search someone for evidence of a crime. A search may accompany an arrest, but this is merely an investigative detention
Noting that while carrying a Taser weapon (ATF has ruled that Tasers are Firearms) the man has threatened to use it against her unless she consents to a coerced search of her person which would normally be unlawful. Some states would very much consider his verbal threat to use a plainly visible weapon to coerce compliance with the search demand to be an unlawful blandishment of a weapon (a form of assault).
Although I see and hear nothing about this filmed stop video implying it is based on race or manner of dress, however, if no one actually saw a theft occur on camera, then yes, the detention was based on a mere profile Mr Vinegar carries around in his head and would therefore appear to be an unlawful detention.
Further this detention definitely incorporated an unlawful attempt at a forced search accompanied by threats
If there had been a witnessed theft lacking an arrest or a warrant (and outside of Terry v. Ohio circumstances) all persons have both a 4th and 5th Amendment Right to refuse a search of their person. The options then would be, politely ask the person to display or return concealed items, contact actual police, or, if probable cause of a crime actually exists, make an arrest, or, simply consider ejecting and barring the person from the premises under whatever procedures local law allowed or requires. Of course if there is indeed a prescription pick up involved that would potentially complicate the ejection.
It is not clear in this video why Mr. Vinegar's spouse is being sued too. Is there an aspect of this not being shown? I have known many armed security guards. Sadly several of them were murdered on duty as the opening salvo of announcing a hold up of a store. IMO armed store security guards shoulld have concealed weapons rather than openly carrying that which identifies them to some junkie/crackhead as a person to be executed before announcing a stick up.
Would it be an attempted kidnapping?
I will never spend my money at Walgreens ever again
What a bully….he’s lying and profiling….SOB.
She's beautiful
What is the deal with Walgreens!? Can you blame them? They are robbed by people that look like her constantly on a daily basis. It's not the cop/security guards fault, it's those people's fault. Ruining it for the good people of that group of people.
What a loser!
Armed security has no authority to hold you. They are to only view and observe. ,
Sell all stocks now Walgreens is going down … i give it 6 mos.
I love the moment when you can see on his face that he's screwed… You can literally see it on his face about the the 3rd time she yelled "call the police" 😂😂😂
All she wanted was a law suit just stop and COMPLY
A store security guard dressed like Rambo tells me you hired a gungho idiot that will cost the company money 🤑💰.
Dude gave up his life for $15 worth of snacks. I guess people are fed up with shoplifting!
The reason this happened is because of the libtuds defunding the police ! Seattle portland and san Francisco and LA ..Walgreens is sick of the crime especially in downtown seattle
You should use her picture in stead of yours……..you would get a lot more views ……..A LOT MORE……
not disputing this guy is a tool who shouldnt be doing this kinda work but what did he do that you can sue for? if its legal to detain someone for suspected shoplifting as a security guard and its legal to ask someone to prove to you they are not stealing. whats the issue? the fact he looks like a cop reject? the fact he eventually trespassed her? the fact he threatened to detain her but never did? I'm actually kinda surprised she wasnt arrested for trespassing for refusing to leave after being told to. and its bullshit to say she was in fear for her life here. nothing she ever said nor her actions would indicate she was at anytime in mortal fear. also it is totally reasonable to believe your manager who is telling you they watched this person steal something live on camera. was the video ever released even?
This is the definition of a dip shit wanna be !!!
thats fukked up.
did this fool say CVS went out of business…lmaooofff WOW?!
CAN I ASK SOMETHING….
THE WALGREENS STORE WAS OUT OF ELECTRICITY?
OR NIGHT TIME?
I WONDER
WHY THE DUMBAS…
SECURITY HAS THE DAMN FLASH LIGHT ON!
Walgreens, the Walmart of pharmacies
In California the merchant law (490.5), "reasonable cause" meant 1) The merchant (or agent of) saw the person take something (a specific thing, not vague non-specific "things") and 2) not lose sight of the person at any time before you approach.
The idiot in the video was a reckless super expensive jerk who needs some jail time
I would have called 911 early on
