Birmingham McDonald's: Woman chucks drink in Security blokes face
 

[McDonald's security guard grabs Baton and beats young
prankster to ground then Kicks her in face after
she lobs drink at him outside Birmingham branch]


[It is only when the security guard continues
kicking the back of her head that an
onlooker shouts at him to stop.
The footage cuts out just after other bystanders
come into shot who have also been filming
without discouraging the security guard
from beating the unarmed woman.

McDonald's has been contacted for comment.]

poke a dog with a stick

dont moan about being bitten

Hopefully he gets what's coming to him. Scumbag.

The amount of violence was in no way proportionate. She instigated the altercation by throwing the ice but to kick and hit someone who is on the ground, especially around the head is disgusting.

Yes, it's too much. You can kill someone that way. :shocked:

When he went back and kicked her again, he had lost all control, hope he is done for GBH

the guy filming as well instead of intervening

Yes, he could get Sacked

He should get sacked....and criminal charges

Ouch.
He should be done for GBH.
Such a big brave man....not.:fist:

it's an assault charge if you don't use reasonable force, and that isn't reasonable force by any definition

When she tried to laugh it off and he went back for more and kicked her in the head :skull:
People think they can do what they want to people with no consequences.
This day, she lost.
Treat people with respect.
Dont look down on people because of the job they do.
He’s not a dog. He showed her that.

Yes. From a legality point of view the force used has to be reasonable, proportionate and necessary.

Doesn't fit any of those boxes.

Imagine going to work every day and being treated like this constantly by scum. The man broke. And she got the brunt.

Yes, not that it excuses it.

He lost the plot though and rage took over.

Shouldn't be in that industry if you can't take the heat.

He shouldn't have taken it as far as he did clearly, especially after she was on the floor but why throw ice in his face?

That's not an excuse though.

I reach breaking point in my job occasionally, I get kicked, slapped, even had my hair pulled a few times. I get on with it and have a cry in the car, you can't become aggressive.

Agree

tbf id have smacked her too

She assaulted him. While he overreacted massively, she instigated it. Fingers crossed that this same reaction occurs next time someone throws a milkshake at someone.

Not sure how anyone can condone that level of violence? :think:

She obviously acted like a dickhead by throwing her drink over him but his reaction was way over-the-top. It wasn’t even like a spur of the moment reaction in self defence, but instead he had time to go get his baton, walk over to her, proceed to beat her with it, walk away, walk back, and then kick her in the face.

Disgusting.

I don't think anyone's going to be pinning any medals on the security guard, he lost control completely and his response was waaaay over the top. But he wasn't the instigator. I certainly wouldn't employ him myself, and think he doesn't belong in any kind of job where he works with the public.

You definitely shouldn't work security if you can't keep your cool in response to violence... I'd also even with the job out of the equation though, argue that any physical retaliation to a drink being thrown is a massive over-reaction and quite concerning. Even if it was just the shoving to the ground. Kicking in the head...? ...because you got a drink over you...? No I don't think that's a normal "pushed to the edge" reaction, I think he might want to explore some sort of anger management therapy.

I'm even trying to think of extreme scenarios. I'm not a violent person and generally wouldn't hit (or even throw stuff) for any reason but let's say an extreme scenario where I look out the window and an adult man has just hit one of my kids. Would I get aggressive and shove? Definitely. Would I if I lost my cool start throwing punches? Very possible... but... would I aim a couple of kicks at their head on the ground. No... even in that circumstance... it's really a next-level form of aggression.

I think his firm's entry requirement should definitely have been a little more stringent. But they probably take who they can get.

Edit: And another thing... Security guards at McDonalds?

I was talking about this a couple of weeks ago - that when I was in London a couple of years ago, there were bouncers at KFC! Cherie told me it wasn't the case that London fast food places have bouncers but here's another one clear as day :fist:. Proven liar Cherie.

I'll try not to get too despondent at least until they have security checks at the Early Learning Centre. Then I'm throwing in the towel.

LOL... Cherie's here. Good luck TS, it's been a pleasure................

i think there may be more security due to covid. There was a security guard at the shopping centre i visited recently and that was never the case before. He did absolutely nothing even though people were not wearing masks, but thats another story

It's Birmingham if you read the article :hee:

he lobs drink at him outside Birmingham branch]


I accept apologies in currency

The situation is spreading :worry:

he should send you £1600 in bitcoins or else you will publish his most loved score for the last 3 years

:joker:

Umm I would have won this year clearly, but I opted out and also I think it got cancelled because we all hate each other.

:laugh2:

I was only going to vote if we could give minus points tbh :idc:

Security at McDonald’s is fairly normal I thought? Especially late at night when your customers are predominately those going home from a night out

Reminds me of a forum I used to be on where there was a reputation system where you got "green gems" under your name, but you could also "neg" and it went into a negative scale of "red gems"... so of course there was competition to have the most red gems.

I've literally never seen it up here but then, I don't think I've ever been in a McDonalds later than maybe 10pm.

My KFC-bouncers experience was at like 6pm :joker:. Also it was 2018 I think, so well pre-Covid.

The McDonald’s on princes street usually had them lol

They definitely had bouncers in Burger King when I was a teenager, I don't think McDonalds stayed open late back then, oh and there was an Abrakebabra that stayed open late and they had bouncers too

Could have done with them in the "all-night bakery" up in Dundee when I was a student to be fair - that place at 2am was full on Mad Max sometimes. Didn't help that it was actually in a warehouse type building on a random industrial estate nowhere near anything else. But it would have queues of students 50+ long from midnight - 3am :joker:.
