Retired special forces, swat team members, FBI,Secret Service, DEA are making big money guarding the liberal elite wherever they go and where they live. Google, Facebook, Twitter and Disney executives are particularly paranoid.

[...] before a security officer with the news crew pulled out his own firearm and commanded the robbers to leave.

What did the security officer actually say?

"Leave and go rob somebody else!"

"...before a security officer with the news crew pulled out his own firearm and commanded the robbers to leave."

Asking why didn’t the security officer arrest them or keep them in a custodial hold until the police arrived, always 5 minutes too late?

If the thugs murdered the journalist live on TV, I’d watch and applaud.
