Summary

Employees who fought back against robbers, unruly customers, and gangs lose their jobs. They say they deserve their jobs back. Dr. Phil meets three ex-employees who say they fought back against robbers, unruly customers, and gangs. Michael, a barista, Austin, a grocery bagger, and Tyler, a security guard say they were forced to defend themselves and their other coworkers after being assaulted. They say they thought they were doing the right thing... but their employers felt differently. All three were fired. Dr. Phil finds out from the Co-Anchor at News on Dr. Phil’s Merit Street and former LA criminal prosecutor Loni Coombs if these men were heroes or liabilities.
