Darien Long, better known as the 'Kickass Mall Cop,' rose to internet stardom in early 2013 through viral GoPro footage of his intense encounters at the Metro Mall in downtown Atlanta. Tasked with managing a high-crime area, Long's no-nonsense approach and use of a taser against aggressive trespassers sparked widespread debate and achieved instant meme status. The footage became a symbol of street justice and strict enforcement in chaotic environments. Today, the meme is used to represent uncompromising authority, dealing with unruly people, or simply as a nostalgic callback to the era of viral YouTube vigilantes.
