synthedick: (♣ restoring order)

We've had plenty of dangerous individuals around here. We step in, and we get told we're overstepping our bounds, that we don't make the laws here and have no real authority. That's true and that's what we've stood by, even though folks seem to get it in their heads otherwise.

So we do what we can reasonably do, and folks get hurt while some maniac goes without justice. We keep at what we first set out to do -- to protect folks coming in the Door and during events -- and we get called incompetent because we don't draw a lot of attention to the fact we're risking ourselves out there, trying to get people to safety.

The Guard isn't perfect, but it's hard to be in a place like this, where folks think we're the cops when it's convenient for them, and useless when it's not.

[It sounds like Nick has had this on his mind for a while now.]
