(2,157 posts)This incident was a very tragic situation. Yes Mr. Crawford was carrying a pellet gun that looked extremely similar to that of an assault rifle...
Yet I have to question why this 'gun' was just sitting there out of the box, which at my local Walmart the exact same gun is in a box with what is commonly referred to as a 'spider web' security anti- theft device designed to alert security that the device had been penetrated.
So I can only assume the pellet gun was already out of the box & Mr. Crawford happened to pick it up. Well as much and as many security personnel & cameras Walmart has, why did Walmart Security not step in, or for that matter call the Police if they thought Mr Crawford was an immenent threat?
Instead some out of state individual called 911 claiming there was a man with a gun pointing it at people, which was a lie btw. So the Beavercreek Police department responded to the scene on the false pretense that there was an active shooter, thanks to a 911 call that gave the dispatcher false information...
Walmart should be held liable for the death of Mr. Crawford as well as the death of the lady who died of a heart attack after hearing the gun shots... I also fault the responding officers for not ordering the man to drop the weapon as opposed to shooting first & asking questions later...
