USA is still a free country, right?

Here is a TV news channel reporter on a public beach.

He is stopped by a private rent-a-cop security.

He is prevented from walking on the public beach and coming to the workers working on the public beach.




Why are these private security guards?

If the beach is not safe, the government officials - either police or military - should be enforcing the law.

What the fuck is going on in my country?
