- tdeck 5y agoThere are many problems with them being actual police though. Actual police can directly arrest people, and can physically assault people without consequence in many cases. Meanwhile, off-duty or not, assaulting a police officer typically carries much harsher penalties than getting into a fight with ordinary private security.
