Seriously? I expected more than that out of Disney.
Security's mission is to observe and report.
That was not always the case. I have seen Disney's plain clothed security swoop in and take a guy down, and move him off stage in what felt like the blink of an eye, with uniformed guards quickly on the tail to disperse onlookers. Granted, that was more than two decades ago, but the operation was impressive to watch and has always left me with a sense of security being in the Parks. If they have moved from actual safety procedures to nothing more than security theater I am greatly disappointed.

From what I know, Disney security is not supposed to physically engage with the guests.
