Cameras can "observe and report". Cancel the contract and save taxpayers the money. Allow all law abiding citizens a carry permit with the right to shoot to kill lawbreakers.

I wonder if they will replace the assault victim’s iPod, cell phone and purse.

Organizers with Service Employees International Union Local 6 have been meeting with Olympic employees as part of a broader push to unionize the private security industry. Guards in the tunnel at the lowest end of the wage scale earn a base pay of $11.10 an hour after a recent 50-cent raise. Most of the guards are at the low end.

SEIU rears its ugly head again. $11.10 per hour is still too much for doing nothing. This was obviously just a way to give jobs to the unemployable, particularly since it has recently been revealed that several of these "security guards" have criminal records themselves.

Let’s see if I understand this.

The security guards did exactly what they were instructed to do, but that’s a problem for the folks who hired and instructed them.

I like your carry permit idea better.

If the police have no legal obligation to ensure your safety, why should a private security-guard?

Those three male security guards sure weren’t MEN.

They were yellow POS cowards, worthless skin bags and a waste of oxygen.

-- On Wednesday, Metro's General Manager Kevin Desmond said the policy would be changed ... --

From "observe then report" to "observe, get out of Dodge, THEN report." This way there won't be embarrassing camera footage of uniformed watchers.

"Tunnel assault on girl sparks security debate"

Sparks debate....Really?!! Sparks debate?!!! How about sparks arrest? How about sparks dismissals of worthless security staff and all of their supervisors?

Disgraceful.

This particular incident has nothing to do with “policy”. It has to do with common decency and balls which the onlookers possessed none of.
