I have worked security. There are two types of guards. Idiots and murders. No inbetween. Plenty of guards are out to keep the situation safe so the police don't get involved. Bouncers for example. I used to work with several bouncers that sold drugs so it was in their best interest to keep the party chill so everyone was safe and there were no cops.

This is a little "People are black and white."

I too used to work nightclub security. There were plenty of in betweens. They were the ones just looking for a night job, while they got off the ground pursuing something else. Myself included.

Maybe. It is a smaller self selected subsection of the population though. Normal well adjusted people don't wake up and join thr security industry. As an example we here both are/were in it and we are here. Clealry no normally well.adjusted person ends up here.
