Best Buy Staff Complete Ultimate Squad Goal, Creating Defensive Formation to Stop Shoplifters

A viral video posted yesterday showed a standard shoplifting attempt at Best Buy that's since made the rounds online. In the clip, three people enter the store and head to the phone display section before trying to rip the phones off the safety cords that secure them to the table.

As the men strained to tear them free from their confines, the crew of the Best Buy took notice, and after the shoplifters attempted to flee the scene, they found a well-spaced gap-closure defense formation waiting for them at the exit door. Unfortunately, the video ends moments before the confrontation, but it's pretty apparent how the next five seconds would unfold.

Athletic experts on Twitter were quick to point out the various defensive techniques on display by the crew, turning the security squad into legends overnight, as well as inspiring others to post examples of good defense by a Best Buy security officer.

Great read from this Best Buy employee. He was shuffling his feet and all. pic.twitter.com/UdUlJlyPNG

But what about our boy on the right? Leaves his spot vacated after realizing there’s only one exit in the Best Buy. Rather than going where the play is now, he’s pursuing where the play is going to be. Veteran awareness here. pic.twitter.com/BB3Eqc08vq

While many were busy looking at the great play, amazing footwork and trap-oriented zone defense that was on display, there were many who were taking the antiwork stance of saying they would never try to stop shoplifters or would hold the door open for them and were actively posting takes that others had defended the employees for stopping the shoplifting.

There is no amount of money Best Buy or any other retail store could pay me to make me give a shit about shoplifters.

Best Buy CEO's compensation last year was around $10 million. That's just one of their executives. They'll be OK.
