Private police guards blamed for mine violence in Pennsylvania
A long-standing quarrel over private guards hired by mining and industrial firms is highlighted as a major trouble source in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Security League urged two House bills to abolish deputized private guards, arguing they act with state authority but are not answerable to the state. The appeal cites December 1993 riots in Greene County where deputies attacked homes, injured women and children, and beat miners trying to aid victims, underscoring the need to stop this system of armed private policing.
