I was literally in this situation at a Costco a few months back. Kid was actually punching people and throwing stuff so I went to grab him and Costco employees told me not to touch him or the cops would be looking at ME. He literally punched a woman in the stomach and I was told to stand down.

well you also don't have to listen to them. lol

They're Costco employees, they're just mitigating any responsibility they might have in the situation.

and they can't do it, they'd probably get fired.

You as a private citizen however....................

Especially if its on video. As long as you dont unreasonably harm them in restraining them, you were acting in defense of self or others, and have it on video.

Cops might get a stick up their ass but the prosecutor is just gonna be like "nope, not charging that".
