HOUSTON - A parking lot confrontation at a Walmart between an off-duty police officer and several teenagers almost got violent, and it was all caught on a cellphone camera. |

that taser looked quite a bit like a gun, with out LE identification that seems like a great way to get shot by someone who could easily mistake that as a threat against their life.

When a cop pulls out a taser and approaches you.............I THINK HE IS SERIOUS! If you need to ask, then you're the dumb ass
betcha they won't be doing that anymore |

That guy needs to remember which uniform he's wearing. A wallyworld security guard puts his hands on me he'll regret it.

A Wally World parking lot is not a fucking playground. |

Wal Mart says it asked the company not to schedule the former cop/guard for any more shifts at their stores. That's nice, but they ought to schedule him for a few shifts at the local nut house.

Looks like a douchebag LEO looking to escalate a situation unnecessarily.
I do not understand why anyone would pick a fight unless its the last possible solution. He should have called the police and waited (assuming they were just video taping run away carts, as the article says). |

Cop/Security Guard couldn't resolve that situation without resorting to threats of violence? Yeah....he isn't qualified for work..my opinion...doesn't matter...but i wouldn't want him to be in charge of law enforcement.

It would have been a better video if they did get tazed.

Kids with no respect for authority? In todays time? color me surprised.

That piece of shit needs to be fired from both jobs and the kids need to press charges for assault.
these so called police officers will not learn until their leadership gets it through their heads that a cops opinion is not law.

Teens causing problems with the officer? You don't know what was going on before the camera started recording. Hopefully you don't have a substantial position of authority. You have no idea of the context of a situation, yet you rush to judge. |
