Zero tolerance mall cop filmed tasering an abusive mother is given $20,000
Supporters have raised $20,000 for an Atlanta security guard who became an internet sensation this week after he posted videos online showing his refusal to give in to abuse from troublemakers.
Darien Long made headlines earlier this week after a video showing him tasering a violent woman outside Atlanta's Metro Mall.
And since then more and more videos are emerging of the zero-tolerance guard refusing to give in to violent threats.
In the footage, filmed by a camera on Long's uniform, men are heard warning they'll follow him home; he is racially abused; spat at; threatened with violence and objects are thrown at him all because he's asked people to leave the shopping center or to stop hovering outside.
Despite being in a position most would find terrifying, Long says he is determined to enforce the rules and believes doing so ultimately helps his community.
Since the campaign began it has raised $20, 000 so Long can buy himself more equipment.

| Yesss, this man deserves it, plus a generous raise. I've watched a couple of videos so far and he's such a brave man. He's been assaulted, threatened, and he still has the power to fight back all for the community. |  |
