Good, I'm tired of these wanna be hero 'vigilantes' acting out their Dirty Harry fantasies.
It's quite simple, let the thieves or belligerents go. Many store policies (probably all) prohibit employees from trying to subdue or confront criminals on store property, and for a reason.
Three Walmart workers in Florida have been charged with manslaughter in the February death of a shoplifter, police said Friday.
They are accused of suffocating Kenneth Wisham, 64, after he tried to steal $380 worth of DVDs in a shopping cart from the Walmart on North Road 98 in Lakeland Feb. 7, Fox 13 Tampa reported.
The station reported that the employees chased Wisham, who fell. They then held him on the ground.
As he was being restained, Wisham stopped breathing. The employees called 911 and an ambulance took him to the hospital, where he died, the station reported.
Lakeland police said Friday that criminal charges were warranted after the coroner ruled that Wisham died of mechanical asphyxia and that he had suffered 15 broken ribs.

Walmart has cameras everywhere they would have caught the police would have caught him anyway. If I was working in a crappy job at Walmart I would not be struggling with people on the floor or risking my life or anyone elses over a few DVD's.
A guy dies while trying to steal from a store and the government puts the security officers in jail. No wonder tge whole liberal world is in the crapper.

Walmart bought ASDA about 15 years ago, but Britain's ASDA supermarkets bear about as much similarity to the U.S. Walmarts as Rhode Island does to Texas.
I don't know, as I've never been in an ASDA, but I'm reliably informed that their clientele are marginally better behaved and dressed than Walmart's customers.
I HAVE been in a couple of large Walmart stores, in Florida and Georgia, and if ASDA customers are only marginally better dressed and behaved than Walmart customers then I've done the right thing by favouring Waitrose.
Sometimes, when entering a Walmart, you can be forgiven for thinking that you've walked in on an audition for a freak show.
Walmart should pay the attorney fees, and give them a raise.
