I read the story and the comments by others at the end. I am amazed at the thinking of some people. They blame the walmart employees and not the thief for his actions.

Actually, if the witness statements are correct, they LP guys blew it. Jumping on the guy and wrestling him to the ground? How did they know he wasn't armed? How did they know he wasn't a mental case etc? They are going to take a bad hit on this one. LP are suppose to try and detain a suspected thief, not play cops and get physical. They could have just wrote down his plate number, got his description, pulled up in-store video etc. This guy could of had a drug reaction extending from a medical problem, or could have been just a common thief, who knows.

They are very fortunate this guy didn't blow them away. Wal-Mart will pay big time for this one.

yes....30 witnesses and no one called the cops...

in la la land the witnesses would shoot the LP officers and split the loot with the suspect!

"LP are suppose to try and detain a suspected thief, not play cops and get physical. They could have just wrote down his plate number, got his description, pulled up in-store video etc."

Perhaps instead of detaining and prosecuting shoplifters, they could politely ask for their home addresses so they may write them a letter explaining how thievery hurts their feelings and forces Walmart to raise their "always low prices". Then, the shoplifters will be sure to return the items taken and apologize to the LP guys. Perhaps after that, they can all hold hands and sing some songs together.
