font-size: 12pt;\">As I alluded to, by calling him heroic, I think favorably of this guy.\u00a0 And he\u2019s smart too, by arming himself not just with a taser and retractcable clubs, but it\u2019s all about the GoPro he wears on his vest, that\u2019s taking video evidence of everything he\u2019s doing and everything everyone he\u2019s looking at is doing.\u00a0 It\u2019s like that part in\u00a0<em>Hot Fuzz<\/em>\u00a0where Simon Pegg is telling Nick Frost that the most important piece of equipment that they have as police officers is their notepads; except in the case of this mall cop, his notepad has evolved a little bit, and is capturing everything verbatim in live video.\u00a0 I admire the fact that he\u2019s not only arming himself, but also using his head to protect himself as best as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">But I can\u2019t help but think that this guy is making a lot of enemies on a regular basis with his no-fear attitude and zero reluctance at engaging individuals clearly in larger crews.\u00a0 If this has been going on as long as it\u2019s being claimed to have been going on, and with this much video evidence, and there has\u00a0<em>still<\/em>\u00a0been no reinforcement or backup for this guy, it\u2019s only a matter of time before he engages the absolute wrong person, and he becomes a dead man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Awareness is useless if nothing ever comes out of it, and I\u2019ve been aware that this particular chunk of Atlanta is the last place on the planet anyone would want to be when the sun goes down.\u00a0 For reference to those unaware, this specific location is not far from where the early episodes of\u00a0<em>The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0where Rick meets Glenn, Andrea, T-Dog and everyone else who ends up jobbing or is forgettable \u2013 it\u2019s a ghetto during the day time, even worse at night, and with no Super Mall Cop there to enforce it, it\u2019s not too far off from being an apocalypse in on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s admirable that the internet has emerged to raise some money for the mall cop, but I\u2019d worry that it would all go towards the wrong intent.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure how taxes work, and according to Andy DuFresne, an amount like $20,000 can\u2019t exactly change hands without some sort of tax scrutiny, and I\u2019d imagine an honest salt-of the-earth kind of guy like mall cop doesn\u2019t really want any tax scrutiny.\u00a0 I agree that mall cop could use some better equipment and safety precautions, but what he really needs is some reliable, dependable reinforcement, and I\u2019m pretty sure that he himself has no power when it comes to hiring reinforcements, and I\u2019m not sure $20,000 would be enough to hire another body, much less for beyond a single year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora;
