It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Enlighten me then. What do security guards armed with pistols or batons or tasers train on then? If I hired them to protect my store then why would I want someone who is incapable of killing a threat? I mean of course the description will say “disable” or “neutralize” the threat.

I have no idea, but the wannabe cops you're talking about are absolutely nothing like the average security guard. The average security guard is a pudgy, retired old person with bad knees who wanted a job where they basically don't have to work and would literally flee the scene if anything violent took place anywhere near them.

Yes and I’m assuming most people do not care about some old guy chasing you down for a candy bar.

The OP said security exists on a spectrum. The job is part power projection and part power execution. No different than a sailor whose job is to sail a destroyer around the world without firing an missile and a marine deployed in Afghanistan. We all serve and protect capital at the end of the day. Some of us more than others.
