Darien Long Fired? 'Kick Ass' Atlanta Mall Cop Reportedly Loses Job Over Controversial Videos

Darien Long, property manager of the Atlanta Metro Mall and darling of justice-related subreddits, is out of a job.
In an interview with Right This Minute, Long said that his last day on the job will be March 31. A representative for the broadcast news program told The Huffington Post that Long was fired because of publicity surrounding two videos he recorded on the job.
Long, who carries a firearm and a Taser stun gun, has a Gro-Pro camera mounted on a bulletproof vest. His videos, which can be viewed on the YouTube channel "KickAssMallCop," document the guard's confrontations with people in the mall. Some show Long stunning people with Taser weapons.
In his interview with Right This Minute, Long indicated that bad business may have contributed to the loss of his job.
"You could kind of see the writing on the wall. Two of the vendors [are] actually leaving, revenues are down. There's a whole bunch of stuff going on," Long said.
During the interview, Long admitted that his aggressive style might make it hard to find employment in the security industry, adding that some employers might be "more concerned about their liability than what's going on."
Long became the beneficiary of a crowd-sourced fundraising campaign earlier this year after one of his videos went viral on Reddit. More than $23,000 was ultimately raised for Long via Crowdtilt.
Reddit user reactions to the news of Long's job were mixed. Some were convinced that the job loss was the best thing for Long's safety, while others were critical of his approach to keeping the peace.
"The last video I saw [the] dude went way too far. He was instigating the arguments and fights, putting his hands on people, pushing them when there was no reason for it. He tazed the one guy for no reason," user "philhouse64" wrote. "Just goes to show what a little power and fame can do to a person. He was security guard, not a cop."
In an earlier interview with WSB-TV, Long said that he wanted to "clean up" downtown Atlanta so that businesses would be more attracted to the district.

Why does it say he lost it over the videos in the title when it doesn't say that in the text? That's just the first sign that the writer is an idiot. Later, he quotes ignorant and wrong-headed user comments as if they were the relevant comments of expert analysis. For example, the nonsense phillhouse64 comments: It was said repeatedly that he was a property management employee and not contracted security. Also, since when does plenty of reason = "No reason?" When phillhouse64 said so? "Too far?" "Instigating?" Everything else from that guy was just wrong-headed opinion of a know-nothing who didn't deserve to get his incorrect assumptions published.

That's media. I remember watching CNN the day of Sandy Hook and to represent the "social media debate" they showed clips from two absolute idiots. One wanted mandatory training and arming of all teachers, and the other wanted to completely ban live ammunition ("all you need is rubber bullets").
