I (and others) moved on from that to the reason that Best Buy gave for firing the security guard. Best Buy said it's their policy to not go outside of the store (which the guard did, regardless of whose thief he apprehended).
Based on their stated reason, it puts into question why they even have a security guard. I extended that to suggest that all of their "smart" security measures are right at the door, but once the person gets through the door no number of alarms will stop them from taking the merchandise, if their security guard is not allowed to exit the store.

What is the purpose of having an Army vet for a security guard?!
SICK TO DEATH of CORPORATE SELLOUTS.
Worst Buy is another place to BUY NOTHING, EVER!
Looking forward EVEN MORE now to seeing the local store close.
For now we’ll tolerate Amazon .. we will get to laugh at their demise in a few years.
Then what is the purpose of having a security guard?
***********
This event occurred outside in the parking lot not inside the
Best Buy store. The article is unclear as to which store the
felon stole from but it doesn’t appear to be Best Buy.
“In your ‘what if’ scenario, the suspect kills a cop which means he would have no problem killing some random security guard. A citizen has no obligation to intervene in a major felony involving a weapon.”
Indeed, no obligation, but if he decides to act and bravely takes that risk he is a good man willing to take risks for the protection of others. That sort of character is too often beat out of young men. Being a sheep-dog is no longer allowed (hence his firing), but being a sheep is.
I blame lawyers and SJW.
I would like to encourage feral youths to clean out Dicks. They deserve what they get for many reasons.
From one soldier to another, thanks Tyler. Good job. And Best Buy is no longer on my list of shopping sites. See ya.
Was he wearing a Best Buy security uniform or one from a contracting security firm?
The policy covers “potential” criminals. The man punched a police detective and was an “actual” criminal, witnessed first-hand. Cowardly beyond words. Thank the million+ ambulance chasing attorneys in this country destroying us from the inside.
Concur.
No good deed goes unpunished? (In this life anyway.)
Don’t know but it was at least a yellow top. But regardless
their policy about the event was violated thus the removal.
It’s absolutely lawyers! If you take actions against a perp, you will be sued by the perp if your actions produce an injury to the criminal. Everything always leads back to lawyers. Sure, there are some good ones out there, but the bad ones sure make it difficult to respect the profession.
Best Buy makes sure that their paying customers don’t steal anything. After you go through the checkout, you walk 10 feet and some other “employee” has to check your purchase and receipt. What is that all about?
Same as Sam’s and Costco.....................
I believe you. They make you feel like a criminal when leaving the place. Why don’t they just do a pat down to make sure you haven’t stolen anything?
I always seem to get stuck behind a person with 53 items and two carts.................and the receipt checker is 70+ years old...............
Ha! I know what you mean. The worst cashiers are men. I’m a man, so I’m not discriminating. If I get into a check out line with a man cashier, I tell the wife, we’re moving to another line.
As per cashiers, we always seem to get the ‘trainee’ line...............
Yeah, nowadays there's more lawyers then criminals.. No, wait... They may be the same thing.. :)
