I find it beyond ridiculous that they are allowed to wear their police officer uniform while working private security. You should not be able to pay for police officer muscle. That uniform, and the authority that goes with it, is in service to the taxpaying public.

We see it in Canada all the time as well. And to add salt to the wound, taxpayers' are also on the hook for even more money because those hours cops worked for private firms count towards their retirement pension. :(
