Poor kid.

Poor Grandpa!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

When will people learn to avoid these types of scenes? It’s getting to be regular Christmas time fare.

Grandpa going to own part of WalMart when this is over. Shame some Buckeye police “officers” won’t lose their jobs over this

[mylife]

People are nuts to subject themselves to this stuff.
All so we can get some stupid DVDS for $5 and some dumbass red and green scarves that are made in Bangladesh.

Was it REALLY the police?, or was it a couple of unempoyable holiday-season-jackasses who took the oath to protect the store (an inanimate object) at ALL costs, no matter what happens to the “accused” buyer?

I wanted to pick up some coax cable from radioshack today, but I refuse to go there because it is beside the walmart and I know it’s going to be a zoo today.

The coax can wait.

“That’s a hard concrete floor INSIDE of Walmart”.

If this man had not walked OUT of Walmart, why was it assumed he was shoplifting? He had not left the store interior. Hope this man gets better. The video looks very disturbing since he is unresponsive.

News reports here state that it was a Buckeye Police Officer. No mention of a Walmart security guard or loss prevention associate.
Methinks, just a little over reaction and now the city of Buckeye is looking at a fair size law suit (settlement) and the police officer will soon be a former police officer.

Grandpa’s going to be a millionaire.

Christmas is being treated like a circus, and the people are the clowns. People are so full of greed it’ scary.

[mtg]

it’ = it’s

[al baby]

Not sure what kinda coax you need but home depot has it and its usually a heck of a lot cheaper and you don’t have to deal with those freaks at radio shack FYI i still use the Shack for some stuff

[Bigg Red]

Why would Grandpa take a child into this sort of environment?

[GBA]

I bet the line of lawyers at Grandpa’s door today is as long as the line outside Walmart last night.

[Ken H]

Why not? With police there to protect the public, it should be safe.

Thanks!
There is a Lowes right down my street.

Good question.

[clamper1797]

Methinks that firing the cop is not enough ... there is NO excuse for this kind of behavior by these “thugs with badges”. IMO this sorry excuse should be tried for felonious assault under color of authority. And if found guilty do so REAL prison time. Enough is enough of this thug mentality in our LE.
