Security guard forced off property by condo board president, residents say he’s on a power trip

An on-duty security guard, contracted to provide security for a Miami high rise, was forced off the property by the condo's board president.

It's refreshing to see an employer back up their staff, even if it costs them money, it's very honorable, and I want to do business with companies like that.

This security guard had every right to eat his lunch in peace,

[ecast]

I am a part time security guard and you bet the disrespect we get is huge. I applaud the fellow security guard for remaining calm

[professional.commentator]

I'm not surprised. As a former security guard, I've dealt with a few board members before and they were some of the most uptight, privileged, bossy people I've ever met. Because they're on the board, they think they're invincible.

Little man has a little authority and shows his colors.

[suncam]

Vote him off the board before the association faces even more lawsuits.

That "board president" can't even buy a shirt that fits, I can't expect he could do any job requiring tact, class, or composure well. No amount of money will prevent you from being trashy.

How it should have went:
“Hey what are you doing?”
Im on lunch.
“Oh.. you worked securing our building and need to eat. Thank you next meal is on me. “

[jazbarry]

The security company should definitely sue. That's the only way this guy is going to learn.

“I’m more black than you” lmaoo this condo president has lost his damn mind

[eagleacademy]

Shout out to the security guard boss for having his employee back💯

[PokemonTrainerVince]

I have been working in security for about 10 years now. I have dealt with so many people that think they can treat you any kind of way just because you're a "rent a cop." It makes me realize how much I dislike society and what it has become. This security guard stayed professional and stood his ground. I'm glad his employer stuck by him as well. Reminds me of the good relationship that I have with my employer.

I love when people think security guards, police officers, and military personnel should always be working and if they are eating that somehow they are wrong

[Logie_Mills]

Big ups to the security guard. People should always have self respect and not allow anyone to speak them this way.

[retiredinmanila]

I'm glad the owner stood up for his employees instead of allowing WS to control his business or bully them around. Real smart owner...

[deanrobertson]

This is truly sad the way this guy treats the first res-ponder guarding his residence, at times the security industry can be a thankless career, the disregard to our humanity, we have the right to eat. Respect dude for standing his ground on his dignity.

[RealAnthonyJones]

If he hit a cop with his mirror on purpose like that, he would've been arrested or worse. That was assault with a deadly weapon.

[Tvrz]

To see a man's true character... give him some power and authority

[wc]

that a hit and run that guy should have been charged. he is known in the area for being a bully and I don't even live in that building.

[NYRM]

That board member needs to be removed from position.
