There is no evidence he worked for Pinkerton! His LinkedIn page shows zero security, law enforcement, or military experience - all necessary to become a Pinkerton guard. This is just a lie made up by the 9News people. Even the Denver police later admitted they couldn't confirm it.

An agency with a reputation and history of dirty dealings, corrupt actions. Not to mention the time and history to form connections they can can use to skirt traditional licensing requirements and avoid showing up in databases.

During the labor strikes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, businessmen hired the Pinkerton Agency to infiltrate unions, supply guards, keep strikers and suspected unionists out of factories, and recruit goon squads to intimidate workers.

This right here.

Pinkertons and militia at Homestead, 1892 - One of the first union busting agencies was the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which came to public attention as the result of a shooting war that broke out between strikers and three hundred Pinkerton agents during the Homestead Strike of 1892. When the Pinkerton agents were withdrawn, state militia forces were deployed. The militia repulsed attacks on the steel plant, and prevented violence against strikebreakers crossing picket lines, causing a decisive defeat of the strike, and ended the power of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers at the Homestead plant.

Fake news.

A) Pinkerton was bought by Blackwater. When the Saudis bought BW, they didnt take over Pinkerton, but it remained under the umbrella of BW.

B) They only hire the top of the top elite ex military. In no way would our retard sheep farmer gotten a job there.

C) No low level local news guy could afford their services. You need serious cheddar to afford a hired armed guard from Pinkerton.

Why that news station even would think of dragging Pinkerton into this is confusing. Unless they're trying to bring to light who they are. But even then, they're an independent contracted firm these days, not like the stories we've heard about in the past. It doesn't make any sense.
