It's not within my power to physically remove him from the mall

So what's the point of being there then? I'd suggest you make a plea to the mall to require and pay for you to get your states Peace Officer Certification so you can be able to enforce the laws/rules that you currently can not.

Liability, I'm sure, but it's severely prohibiting you to perform a function of your job. The malls/outlets back where I live all have state certified Peace Officers and can fully enforce the laws of the state and municipality. The only thing they can't do is escort to a jail, which has to be done by a local LEO. Although I would imagine if the company required you to be a state certified Peace Officer they'd have to pay you more and I doubt that would happen. Security companies are very large penny pinchers.

Nothing like the old banter from a Grizzly Bear and a Hairless Sasquatch.

Funny in the President's statement on the 10th anniversary he says that the US Military left in 2011 with their heads held high, but I just ate dinner at the DFAC with an Air Force Sgt yesterday...
