Security - The Thread

[Lady Birb]

Being security isn't so much about overpowering as much as it is outsmarting bad guys.  Getting the drop on someone is roughly 200% more effective than straight up fighting them.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if you are less robust than your foe if you can outsmart them. I have a story that shows this well: crime clown was going on a revolver rampage, and I arrested them after they tripped on their own shoes. Another officer decided they wanted to interrogate crime clown BEFORE searching them, which proved to be a mistake when crime clown got his handcuffs off and pulled out a second revolver and killed the other officer. In the ensuing firefight in security, I was put into crit by AP rounds and crime clown escaped through a disposals chute, but I had a medkit on me so I could heal myself out of crit, take an analgesic pill to negate the slowdown, and get to disposals to open the crusher door before crime clown could react. One of my most proud moments as an officer.
