And if the guy had a piece, the Best Buy smurf might have gotten a helluva lot more than just a pink slip. He might have gotten his face blown off.

There is a reason we hire police officers.

Wrong, we hire cops to take reports and draw chalk lines around bodies after the crime is over and the criminal long gone. They do not stop crime, which is why we have so much of it.

If citizens were taught from childhood to resist and stop criminals, crime would be virtually non-existent.

And what reason would that be? Have you ever dealt with the cops? Call the cops if you want some fat bored ticket-jockey to come on your property, treat you like crap, tell you all kinds of things that you did “wrong”, complain that he shouldn’t even be there, over-talk you and answer zero questions, and leave you with a police report that looks like it was written by a fifth-grader.

your imagination is running away with your sense of logic....Police officers investigate crime and try to solve it....they are not there to prevent crime in most instances. I think the employee was a hero, and it shoud start sending out a message that the stores are not there for the takink.....how many armed clerks would it take to end this nonsense?????

Stomping dogs, breaking doors down and burning people out of their homes. No one does it better!

Ok. What? To eat donuts? A cop is not typically going to apprehend a shoplifter because, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Really?

So if a deranged drug crazed 2 time loser robbery suspect had a gun to the head of a female clerk, and a male clerk subdued the robber and disarmed him, saving the female, should the male clerk be terminated from employment?

I saw no mention of dogs needing to be shot. Cops are only for cleanup afterwards and are next to useless in most situations that are put into.
