A man who says he’s a security guard in downtown Santa Cruz has posted a video on YouTube that claims to show his interactions with the homeless.
Homeless advocates describe the guard’s behavior as cruel, insulting and unprofessional.
The guard tells two people in one video to “get a life” and “pay taxes.” He warns them the video will be posted online as “public shaming.”
KION Television says it reached out to MCM Diversified, the property managers for the Galleria in Santa Cruz. The company issued a statement saying, “MCM Diversified hires a third-party company to handle security. MCM Diversified has requested termination of that guard from all MCM Diversified Properties. Anyone that represents our company needs to show compassion and respect.”
