The guard is being charged with false imprisonment – while the State Attorney says it appears to be a case of racial profiling (via toofab)

Nor is he in trouble for impersonating an officer; although he left his theme park security guard job six months earlier, his certification was still valid.

"What happened that morning should upset everyone in our community. We have skilled police officers -- we don't need vigilantes confronting people on the street," Warren said in a statement. "There have been recent examples of confrontations like this across the country that have ended tragically. The fact that this didn't end with a loss of life doesn't make it any less of a crime. What Mr. Santos did is unacceptable and illegal -- now he'll face consequences for his actions."

In similar circumstances in 2012, Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old Black high school student, was shot dead by neighborhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman, also in Florida. Zimmerman was acquitted of murder after claiming self-defense, the verdict sparking widespread outrage.
