You're full of shit... :smh:


If you walked his dumb ass outside, he would have never gotten tased.. What did he decide to do?.. Him and his dumb ass buddies decided to gang up on an armed man.


You're in the same situation and you got four niggas walking towards you, refusing to leave the premises like you've instructed them to, threatening your life. What are YOU going to do?...

First of all, I would only approach them if they were committing a crime, not to get back at them because i thought they robbed my apt.

2nd, I will not approach 4 guys on my own if they were committing a crime, I'd call the cops.

Do you live in ATL???? You sound dumb as hell, no disrespect, but you can't even walk through there without hearing "got that kush" "got that loud" shiiiit you can't even walk in front of there without being solicited. The people he was targeting are dudes hanging out selling drugs and using people's storefronts as their hub. Any and everyone down here knows that. I was just passing by there a few days ago because I had to register my new car. It's a shithole and dude was attempting to do a good job.

It's crazy how people get on the internet and be so sure and adamant about what's going on and never even smelled the place they're talking about. Insane. :smh:

The funny part is i'm there, OFTEN...which is how I know this shit is bs. And as far as the "got that loud" shit, nigga you can hear that at LENNOX so what exactly is your point!? Why was this place not supposedly over run with "dealers" before he got there yet all of a sudden it's the dope capital of the city? You dudes are hilarious. ROFL @ attempting to do a good job, yea by harassing people. The funny part is, APD patrols that place 90% of the time yet, we don't hear anything about drug busts there. But this dude, just so happens to be able to spot out and run off all of these "dealers". Yea, ok.

Dude.. He didn't just walk up to the niggas and start tasing for revenge or some shit.. :smh:


He asked them to leave, they didn't, they threatened his life, and were approaching him in a threatening manner. He was defending himself. It's not against the law to defend yourself, and/or your property..


He wasn't trying to get back at dude. He felt they were loitering at his job to show him up. He was within his rights to ask them to leave, and then use non-lethal for to defend himself..

Kick ass mall cop' Darien Long back at downtown Metro Mall
Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Thu, May 8, 2014 at 3:34 PM


After his 2013 arrest for assault, Darien Long is laying down the law again
Now that Creative Loafing's office is smack dab in the heart of south Downtown, the infamous Metro Mall is literally a block away. In fact, from our window we enjoy a hawk-eye view of the flea market's front entrance - and its patrons' comings and goings - along with its characters. And one in particular that went missing in action has since returned.
Indeed, vigilante mall cop Darien Long is back as onsite manager of Metro Mall. :yes:

After co-workers Max Blau and Thomas Wheatley tipped me off to his presence, I caught up with him yesterday on Peachtree St. It looked like a regular day in front of Metro Mall. The legit shoppers mixed in with the illegitimate dealers. It was unseasonably hot, even for Atlanta. And Long was strapped with two Taser guns, his trusty video camera attached to the vest covering his chest. Though he declined to be interviewed because ownership doesn't want any media attention, it hasn't kept him from uploading to YouTube approximately three to six videos each day he works. As you might recall, it was Long's own footage of him tasering unruly, and/or provoked, patrons that went viral and garnered national media attention. Today he calls his YouTube channel GRSE!, which stands for "the Greatest Reality Show Ever!" And the titles are as colorful as the content: "Crackhead on Broad," "Superhero @$$ Ni##A vs. Clown @$$ Ni##A," "Tryin to play me like Willie Lump Lump," etc.

He's actually been back for several months after being fired last year, and he told me he hasn't had to taser anyone yet. Perhaps this is a kinder, gentler Long, following his arrest for assaulting a mall patron a year ago? His return hasn't been without incident however. In the video below, titled "I QUIT," he talks about his decision to do just that last month after a tenant failed to abide by his rules and ownership didn't back him up:



They've apparently put that kerfuffle behind them since he's back now. His return couldn't be more timely, especially considering this week's CL cover story, "The changing face of downtown Atlanta." In it, staff news writer Max Blau writes about the impending transformation that could bring more change (Atlanta street car, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, College Football Hall of Fame) to the area this year than we've seen since the 1996 Olympics. Except for the fact that the neighborhood still lacks bare essentials like a grocery store. Meanwhile, Darien Long's presence is still viewed by many as a basic necessity.

On that note, here's a year-end piece "20/20" aired on Long's solo crusade last December in which many residents and workers in the area voice their support:
