The problem with security guards is that they forget that they are supposed to call the po-po re: suspicious characters. And why would this jerk <em>not<\/em> show her his ID, but demanded hers?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox13news.com\/news\/local-news\/security-guard-refuses-to-show-identification-as-he-follows-veteran-on-her-morning-walk\">http:\/\/www.fox13news.com\/news\/local-news\/security-guard-refuses-to-show-identification-as-he-follows-veteran-on-her-morning-walk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>She is visibly upset by what happened, but instead of sniffling about it, she could do several things, among them:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>a) get a dog to accompany her on her morning promenades. I used to take my German Shepherd with me when I went out running after work at night in Chicago, 3 miles total. Did Piggy a lot of good and made me feel secure. No one is going to mess with your pooch. Having a 4-legger with you as a running mate tends to generate respect and create a distance. It also should indicate that you\u2019re just out walkin\u2019 the dog.<\/li>\n<li>b) find that old reflective PT belt or go buy one at a surplus store and wear that (or a couple of them), along with sweats\/tees that say USAF\/whatever Vet.<\/li>\n<li>c) drop the hoodie and wear something else on the head that reflects light, e.g. Military Veteran<\/li>\n<li>d) call 911, or offer to do so if the guy won\u2019t leave you alone. Just do it. You have to be a bit bold without going overboard, and saying calmly, \u2018Shall I call the police?\u2019 is as good as anything else.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If I lived in Chicago now, I\u2019d have two 4-leggers with me. As it is, if things get bad up here in my kingdom, I\u2019m getting a dog, period. Well, maybe two, and call one of them Mai Gun and the other one Bullet. My two cats are more useless than sofa pillows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She\u2019s black, she\u2019s female, and she\u2019s wearing a hoodie and the security guard refuses to show &hellip; <a title=\"USAF Retired Combat Vet Harassed By Security Guard\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=88535\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">USAF Retired Combat Vet Harassed By Security Guard<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,220],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=88535"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":88536,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88535\/revisions\/88536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=88535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=88535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=88535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
