In previous articles regarding theft from Walmart it was pointed out that any employee who attempted to intervene or otherwise foil the robbery would have their employment terminated. As a corollary it appears to me that had the thieves been white the book would be thrown at them. I think the legacy of Michael Brown is an unspoken double standard. If you want to lift something from WalMart hire a negro to do it for you. WalMart will look the other way.
There was also last year when the EBT computer went down, and Wal-Mart let people take stuff.
