What was the lie? That he wasn't armed? He was. That he wasn't being disruptive? Breaking up packages and putting them in a backpack then taking them out again is certainly out of the ordinary. The cops overreacted.
Sure. BUT, the employee who escalated this tragedy deserves equal blame.
Calling the police was an escalation? So any time a company calls the police it's an escalation and they're liable for what happens?
“Breaking up packages and putting them in a backpack then taking them out again is certainly out of the ordinary.”
Not really, its done all the time in a lot of stores. Sometimes its shoplifting but frequently its not.
“Breaking up packages and putting them in a backpack then taking them out again is certainly out of the ordinary. The cops overreacted.”
NO... the employee over reacted, along with the cops. That is not so disruptive as to call the police. Go get a male employee or go get the store manager, but NOT THE POLICE!
Form the reports I believe this employee DID escalated a normal shopping day into a police confrontation that ended in murder. Why else has the 911 call OR the videos not been released? HMMM?
Because they do NOT BACK UP THIS EMPLOYEE’S STORY OR THE COPS that’s why.
