Hard for me to be outraged when someone commits a crime, then faces some consequences. Security gripping-up folks that steal or damage store property happens all the time.

Dude still out of line with the choke hold, and they did even offer to pay for the stuff she knocked over. But it was unnecessary for her to do that. Just gave them an excuse to harass her further and take it next level.

It's somewhat excessive but not out of line considering the sitaution (police breaking up a large street fight). Once someone becomes the initial aggressor, it's hypocritical to play the innocent victim when someone responds with even more aggression.

14. "Yeah and it was JC Penney who let a white customer go on a racist rant" In response to Reply # 0
to a couple of Latina women. After outrage, the company said that if they could identify the bitch she'd be banned from the store, but it took viral outrage to get there.
JC Penney, man, it's not like I did a lot of shopping there anyway, but ugh, you'll never see me darken your doors again. (Frankly, I don't even know where the nearest one is, and it probably takes a car to go there. This is like me boycotting Indiana, you know?)

32. "At what point in security/law enforcement training," In response to Reply # 0
Do you realize "Alright, I've made my point, and now I need to de-escalate the scene."? Maybe she shouldn't have done whatever caused him to think to put her in a headlock, but you gotta come off that shit at some point.
She's clearly not in tip-top physical shape, so if she loses oxygen and blacks out (or worse), "I was just doin my job" is not gonna be enough of an excuse.
