ZENITHGUARD EMBROILED IN CONTROVERSY: A VIGIL TURNED VIOLENT?

PUBLISHED: OCTOBER 25TH, 2019

Sarah McMillan, for the Chicago Tribune

In an incident that has left both legal experts and the public baffled, ZenithGuard Security Solutions is currently facing severe scrutiny for a recent operation gone wrong in Chicago. The controversy centers around one of its leading "private superheroes", known by the code-name "Vigil," who is facing allegations of misconduct and excessive use of force.

THE INCIDENT

On the night of October 23, 2019, Vigil was deployed to assist with crowd control during a peaceful protest. The mission was meant to be straightforward: ensure public safety while allowing citizens to exercise their First Amendment rights.

However, according to eyewitness accounts and available video footage, Vigil seemed to have overstepped his boundaries considerably. While attempting to apprehend a suspect for alleged vandalism, Vigil engaged in a physical altercation that resulted in the injury of four bystanders, two of whom had to be hospitalized.

THE AFTERMATH

The incident prompted immediate backlash, as forums and blogs were flooded with video clips, and email campaigns immediately spun up demanding justice and accountability. The local police department promptly distanced themselves from ZenithGuard, stating that Vigil's actions were "not in line with the department's policy on engagement during peaceful protests."

As a result, an investigation has been launched both internally by ZenithGuard and by an independent civilian oversight board. The protests have not only continued, but intensified, with Vigil's actions widely seen as not only ineffective but actively counterproductive to ZenithGuard and the police's goal to control crowd sizes and rowdiness.

LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS

While ZenithGuard and its employees usually operate with a degree of legal immunity under the Licensed Utilization of Metahuman Abilities (LUMA) framework, the glaring questions surrounding this incident may present a unique challenge.

"Even though they have licensing, private superheroes are not above the law," said Eleanor Thompson, a professor of Law at Chicago University. "They cannot be allowed to wield their powers irresponsibly. This incident could set a precedent for how private security firms like ZenithGuard are regulated moving forward."

ZENITHGUARD'S RESPONSE

In a public statement, ZenithGuard expressed regret over the incident and assured that a thorough internal review was underway.

> "We take this incident very seriously and deeply regret any injuries sustained by innocent bystanders. Our mission is to protect, and it's clear that we fell short in this instance. Vigil is currently on administrative leave pending the outcome of our internal review as well as any external investigations."

While this is far from a mortal blow for ZenithGuard, it raises important and uneasy questions about the accountability and oversight of private superheroes. As the nation watches, this incident could very well become a watershed moment in the ongoing conversation about the role of privately-operated superhuman entities in public security.
