Progressive officials often let their city go to ruins while they use taxpayer funds for private security. The more progressive an area is, the more likely an elected official needs private security. However, it was surprising to discover that San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan hires security guards who are just as bad as the city’s crime rate.

Mahan was trying to conduct a TV interview in a city he runs. That was his first mistake since the last thing Progressives should be doing is showing off their abysmal results. The second mistake was hiring a security guard who was just as much a joke as San Jose.

According to the New York Post:

The guard took a shot to the side of the head before he countered and pushed the man away during the wild tussle that played out on camera in downtown San Jose.

Mayor Matt Mahan was doing an interview with KRON when the passerby, identified by police as 35-year-old Wesley Pollard, began cursing a few feet away. As the mayor’s guard, who works for San Jose police, began to talk with the man, he claimed to work nearby.

“I’m talking on the phone, you got a problem?” Pollard said as he unleashed a profanity-laced tirade. “I’ll smack you right now,” Pollard also appeared to say off camera. “I will f–cking smack you.”

And at that moment, the security guard, who might be a plain clothes police officer, was smacked.

Subsequently, a slap-fest ensued.

That was embarrassing to watch and I genuinely felt bad for the poor guy. It was very concerning and most people agreed.

I was wondering the same thing. Everyone just stood by watching or catching up on emails.

In other words, it’s just another Wednesday for these people.

The reason why the man was so angry was because he claimed to have worked in the building but the mayor would not allow him to go inside because he was “doing an interview.”

There is a saying that recommends you should be the bigger person and usually, I would agree with that. But when your policies have destroyed so many people’s lives and you clearly lack any respect for your constituents, it would be hard for many people to “be the bigger person.”

Question: Did the Mayor have a permit to be there? Because if not, he technically has no right to block the sidewalk like that.

I think that is about as perfect of a description as we can get. The stranger was a bit too angry for a Wednesday, maybe if it was a Monday we would understand. However, the Mayor had some nerve in demanding people acquiesce to his demands so that he could fake his pathetic PR stunt – especially considering he almost certainly was not entitled to the public right of way.

Also, who fights like this? This honestly looks like they are dancing.

The slap-fest finally ended after these two big guys jumped in and literally shoved them off each other with their pinkies. Unclear who these two dudes are, but I am guessing they are the real security guards who just got back from a smoke break.

“Let me go,” Pollard said repeatedly before a few other individuals jumped in to help restrain the rabble rouser as the camera cuts out.

The security detail was taken to the hospital and stayed overnight with head and neck pain following the fight, KRON reported.

I genuinely feel bad for the security guard. He even got a headache from all this.

Anyway, the pathetic mayor put out a pathetic statement and never apologized for blocking the public right of way.

“Mayor Matt Mahan is deeply grateful to his security detail and the entire San Jose Police Department,” the mayor’s office said in a statement, per the television station. “The actions of the Officer tonight were heroic and a testament to the deescalation training that makes our officers effective, compassionate and stewards of community trust.”

The man was later arrested for assaulting the poor security guard.

That being said, I am not here to victim shame, but let’s hope the man does not return to the job before taking some de-escalation classes.
