I know it's generally said that security is a thankless job but it's still shitty. If I see two people trying to murder each other but have no idea who started it I have to stun you both, especially if the person I didn't stun first keeps attacking the guy I did stun first.
But being called a bad HoS? That's just stupid, unless you go around abusing power by doing something like tazing suspected traitors just to check them for contraband, or forcing minute long punishments for petty crimes, or doing literally nothing and going brain dead out in the open.
The point of the HoS is to get serious about security. Hunt the ling down, arm up and stop the rampaging traitor, search for the vampire, assemble the Ghostbusters, militarize sec and stop the syndies. That's your job as sec. It's terrible that anybody would think that this ISN'T the point of the HoS, or security in general.
And of course there are always judgement call moments. The traitor is stunned, but are they drugged up? You're bleeding, will you pass out? How close is security? How accessible is security? The bad guy can't always be taken alive, though it's best to at least try to be non-lethal, especially against the less violent offenders.
