Security officer protects news team, recovers two AR-15s during Seattle riots

The recent protests that have gripped the country -- some peaceful, others violent -- have seen a rise in the need for security professionals. It's unfortunate these situations exist, but the benefit is twofold: property and people are protected and security officers who may have been unemployed are now working.

During the upheaval in Seattle, a former U.S. Marine, who now works in the security industry, was able to safely acquire two police AR-15s that fell into the hands of rioters. If you listen to the man's words, he mentions "American lives" several times and that he supports "unity, not division." The life of the rioter is still an American life and so the security professional was pleased he did not have to end that life in order to safely secure the weapon.  -- IFPO.
