The callous regard for human life jumped at me. My uncle worked for a big Wall St firm in the 80s and 90s. A CE from a big company was doing some early morning maintenance and long story short, had a heart attack and died in the data center.
The ops people called 911, fire/ambulance came — and were turned away at the door by security because they took too long and they needed to avoid impact to trading.
Basically they put some sort of tarp on the guy and wheeled him in and out of the way throughout the day. My uncle was some sort of big shot, heard about it, came in and reamed out the security director guy. Pretty sure the family never knew.

If there’s a mortal threat and “security” is in the way, police should have every right to subdue the rent-a-cops.
