Now this is Just Wrong!

Oh Okay, while watching a little bit of BET one day, i came across a news brief which was discussing the brutal beating of a 15 year old girl in a metro station. Why she was beat is not as important as why her attackers were allowed to continue to beat her. In the metro station, there where three on duty security guards on post, and as the girl began to warn them of the beating they begin to radio for back up while moving further away from the girl. Because they moved away the girl was beat viciously by another teenage girl taking blow and kicks to the face and body. While the beating was taking place, security, just stood there, and allowed this to continue not pulling the girl off of the victim or helping in anyway. Their reason for not helping is because, their contract only tells them to observe and report. Three grown men, working security and only allowed to observe and report, that's not security that easy money that could go towards installing more camera which they don't need, but at least the camera has the excuse of not being able to do anything but observe and report. What happened to moral judgement, and character? I know for a fact that regardless of what my contract would have told me that i would have helped that little girl, regardless of the risk of getting fired or not. It's sad that people feel so bound to a pay check that, with each incident like this they begin to feel less of a human being each time they turn away.
