Chattanooga Police Det. Kenneth Freeman will not face charges in an incident in which he shoved a 71-year-old greeter at the Wal-Mart in Collegedale to the floor after he tried to stop him while doing a receipts check.

A police report says a customer then told Det. Freeman, "You can't push down an old man" and began struggling with him. It says Det. Freeman then shoved that man, Gholom Ghassedi, through a glass door. Officers found Mr. Ghassedi with blood on his neck, but he declined medical treatment. Sgt. McPherson broke up the fight between Det. Freeman and Mr. Ghassedi.

He’s not a greeter, he’s security working at walmart wages. Checking the receipt pisses me off, but thats no reason to shove a 71 year old man thru a window.
How, then, does one get the attention of a deaf person? The door alarms aren’t equipped with strobes.
I didn’t find anything convincing in your post or the cpl’s excuses.
This guy has a previous history also as stated in the article. He’ll do it again.
I wonder if he is a displaced New Orleans policeman.
Has anyone mentioned that it was Christmas Eve?
Words fail me.
Yes, good assumption. And thank you for the kind words.
