I was referring to the family, they were on private property, they must follow the property owners wishes. Sounds like they felt Junior was being treated unfairly and challenged the Policeman’s authority...bad move, they would have done much better with a lawyer in front of a judge.
They may have been on private property, but they were on private property that is a public accomidation. The one family member might have been banned by the property owner and subject to arrest by a bozo security guard, but the others were not according to the article.
In America one can not arbitrarily arrest someone whether by an actual cop or as in this case a security guard for tresspass on private property they were INVITED to.
What you said was there is a costs to being stupid. I agree. The family got arrested and they possibly did make mistakes. The bozo cop certainly made a mistake and likely will not be retained by that mall again. Or perhaps you think mall owners prefer bozo cops to making money?
