This is prime example of going the cheap route and hiring unarmed security without the proper training to deal with situations that may arise.

Now, they're going straight to using the police.

Unarmed security is good until it's not. There's a time & place for narmed security. Placing them in a place where there's constant violence, shooting isn't the correct place to use unarmed security guards.
