They are not law officers (police) they are mall cops. They don't have the training, I'd say they're not accountable but neither are the police.

Saying officer confers them the status of being law enforcement. They were not anymore than blackwater is the us military

Agreed but they are recognized officers. there are many different types of officers that are deputized. Law Enforcement Officers are the ones we most commonly refer to but they are not the only types of deputized officers. Hell, we have multiples types of those around as well, Septa police officer, Temple police officer, but there are also non law enforcement officers around. Correctional officers, Court officers. So the blanket statement of "And it was not an officer" is totally incorrect. They are officers. they are not law enforcement officers (i.e. police).
