Perp was 64 - definitely plausible that he just up and died due to the excitement of the situation. I'm guessing that Walmart will still quietly settle out of court with the family though. |

I know they do apprehensions now, but I thought they got away from doing them for at least a little while.
I would bet the employees involved will be tossed under the bus but the company will settle it quietly and expensively. Most FSA types actually have a dollar amount where Junior suddenly becomes worth the loss. |

That's fucked.
My first job was at Wal-Mart back in 1991 (-94), when there was a shoplifter they would announce over the loud speaker code whatever and what section they were in but when they ran out the door they would call Code 500 and all male employees were supposed to run after and catch the shoplifter. God that was fun, I was in high school, played baseball all 4 years and would run after these fucks and knock the shit out of everyone that I caught  |

Looking for a downside. I might be a bit upset and second guessing myself if I were one of those loss prevention guys, but other than that zero fs given.

I work at a orange big box store. LP can detain shoplifting suspect until the authorities arrive. I have been there when paramedics were called for a suspect that said he was having a heart attack. He lived, was charged with shoplifting, had a nice ambulance ride and ER visit to pay for too. Of course you and I will end up footing the bill for it since that scumbag sure isn't going to pay it!

Why just males? Sexism...That's why... Women can serve in combat roles now...even our military says they are just as capable as men when it comes to combat...surely they can stop a shop lifter. |

Not if he was in fact shoplifting and found out the hard way that the rumor that Wal-Mart will not go after shoplifters is a fairy tale. If Security videos show the employees used reasonable force, WM might give them a courtesy payout and a good deal on an open box (sorry) casket. |

Waiting for someone to claim that the police somehow killed him...it's coming, I'm sure...
Wal-Mart can and does detain shoplifters. Their loss prevention officers are kickass, and they know what they're doing. Corporate is willing to prosecute if they catch someone stealing anything. Pair of socks? Charges filed. Pack of trading cards? Yup, prosecute. Loaf of bread? You guessed it... |

The Walmart has a pretty high threshold where they won't prosecute even if caught. Just a trespassing charge if stcky fingers returns in a specific time frame. A local Walmart has the highest theft rate of ALL Walmarts... |

Thats a really good way to get shot. Between that and liability, I would let the cops handle it. |

Walmart, unless things have changed, defends the SHIT out of liability cases like this one (along with slip and falls, truck accidents, etc.). This guy's family won't get paid more than a pittance without a fight. |

It's something to keep in mind if you're considering shopping at a Walmart. You're not going to get a quick settlement out of Walmart if you're injured or abused at one of thier stores. Count on having to bring suit against them. |

"Their Argument" was meant to be "Wal-Mart" not the dead Shoplifter.... It all comes down to Policy and whether or not the LP dudes violated it. AFAIK Wally World (Officially at least) Forbids its LP personnel to use any kind of physical force. It was DEFINITELY the case at the one where I worked as a PO, they had a hands off policy....any fighting, or force and the backed off and let the shittum go. As opposed to our local K-Mart who used to tackle people in the parking lot and get sued all the time. |
