In a bit of pretty disturbing video, a security guard at the Cleveland Public Library’s Carnegie West Branch was captured punching a homeless man in the head. The guard in question, employed by Tenable Protective Services, has been removed from the job.
The problem began inside the Fulton Rd. branch when the guard alleges the homeless man “punched him in the face” after the guard talked to him about “causing problems.” It continued outside, where, for reasons unknown, the security guard chased the homeless man down the street, tackled him, and delivered a series of stern blows to his head while the homeless man was on the ground.
Here’s the video and Fox 8 report:

Take that you homeless!
He “reached out” alright, right into the guys head…
If the homeless man hit him first then he had evey right to hit him back
Guess the homeless guy shouldn’t have taken a swing on somebody that could kick his ass. Political correctness aside, just the way the real world works. I’m not an particularly big guy, so I don’t go around punching people in the head, in turn I don’t end up tackled to the ground and getting my ass kicked.
