he started firing, [Police Commissioner] Tisch said, killing a police officer working a corporate security detail
“He was doing the job that we asked him to do. He put himself in harm’s way. He made the ultimate sacrifice,” Tisch said.
Off-duty police officers working as private security are not doing the job we the public asked them to do! During the time they are getting paid, they are protecting corporate interests, not the public in general. Frankly, “corporate security detail” is a corrupt impersonation of a police officer - they wear their official police uniform, they act under the color of law, but they are not serving the police or the public. Fucking Cyberdyne Systems/Omni Corporation privatized police cyberpunk shit. Irks me how this police “impersonator” is getting full honors from the police commissioner, and photos in the AP of police and medical staff standing at attention in respect of the ambulance carrying the body, and meanwhile the other security guard killed who did not daylight as police during their off-the-clock hours doesn’t even get a name mentioned.
