In reply to the discussion: Alleged Shoplifter Dies After Being Caught by Walmart Employees [View all]flying rabbit
(4,632 posts)33. Nothing in the article says the security guard was an off duty policeman.
Two wal mart employees were involved in the altercation. Neither of us knows what really happened. No I dont think they did it for fun. Bottom line though: a guy was killed by some people making minimum wage to defend the profitability of wal mart. Hell when I was making minimum wage I was flipping burgers. I wouldn't have taken on some thugs just to ensure wendys didnt lose money.

Sounds like the guy was resisting arrest. I saw a couple of WalMart incognito security officers

All theft adds to the cost of items we buy. They all should be arrested, if caught. nt

He was resisting arrest. Resisting arrest by two Walmart employees and a contract security guard.

And not only that, but for a company which probably has a life insurance policy on them...
