The manner raises concerns, and more concerns as details come out. It looks staged. Ever since the police got busted in civil court for perp walks, they have been very careful.
“The walk of shame is a Target policy to purposely cause shame, embarrassment and emotional distress to any Target employee who is suspected of stealing from Target, the suit states. The policy consists of employees being arrested and paraded in handcuffs through the Target store in full view of co-workers and customers.
However, the suit alleges that Graham Gentles involvement in a verbal altercation with another Target worker at a bar outside of work hours several months before the handcuffing incident may have prompted management to subject him to the walk of shame.”

I read though this article several times. Okay it looks as if this kid really didn’t steal anything. He got into it with another worker at a bar so that worker took revenge. Up until this, he was a good employee and even came early and never missed. He had Aspergers so I don’t know how high or low functioning he was. Sometimes people with this are often hard to get along with. Are there any FReepers here who can give some insight as I am not very knowledgeable on Aspergers?
I don’t know but I strongly suspect they wanted revenge on him because he was Aspergers and this is how they got it. I could be wrong but that is what I suspect.
The only “details” I see are coming from the Plaintiffs Bar, which is no place to be looking for the truth.
