A security empire deployed guards with violent pasts. Some went on to rape, assault or kill

Philip Mayo cost himself a law enforcement career the day he helped shatter a prison inmate’s face and beat him until his back was broken.

But the fired Maryland corrections officer wasn’t out of uniform for long.

Within months, G4S, the largest private security company in the world, gave him a job 20 minutes up the road guarding an office building and its workers.

Co-workers said he raised more red flags almost immediately. They claimed he stalked a woman around the building. He adjusted security cameras to watch women enter the locker room. He groped a coworker’s breast.

Philip Mayo belonged in prison. He went on to assault women, claiming that he could do whatever he wanted because he was "security." One of his female victims ended up with traumatic brain injury and PTSD.

G4S claims that they had no warning that he was dangerous. BS. The warning signs were everywhere. They just didn't want to acknowledge that they hired a rapist, sadist thug.

This is the problem we risk when we trade CHEAP (low paying) security for true protection or law enforcement. You only need look no further than for-profit prisons. No oversight = ripe for abuse.

Looks like Blackwater for security personnel.

Interesting that the Pulse nightclub shooter came from this swinish nazi outfit.
