Nice summation of this article:

Nice to know police are there to protect Wal Mart's profitability rather than the safety of the general public!!

Sheesh. Much ado about a simply solvable situation. You know, home and business security alarms used to be a similar problem. How was that solved? Poof! What problem?

Imagine, a store calling the police when crimes and public disturbances are occurring on their property. What's up with that?

A person should be able to commit a crime or violate a town/county/state ordinance without the interference of the police!!!

This just the tip of the iceberg. I bet what comes next is that some "judge" in some "court" will be putting people in jail for stealing. :o:o:o

1. Look at the caliber of people that walmart attracts. 2. Why spend profits on a private security detail when you're already spending tax money on a professional police force?

As always, I had more fun reading the posts there than the article itself. Hard-core Left calling hard-core right "biased" and vice-versa. Hiring a few more security guards might help, especially with chasing away loiterers and panhandlers, but with even minor crimes ultimately even private security has to either let the perps go or call the police.

I'm curious to see if the OP has anything more to say on the subject or if this is just another drive-by.

I think this is because too many communists work at Walmart, or pretend to "work" at Walmart. Walmart managment is slacking, they need a good ol' Reagan answer to lethargic and/or unionizing employees. I mean if all the people in aircraft control towers can be let go, surely Walmart could replace their entire slacker work force. Every time I drive up to my Walmart there are about a dozen surly employees outside smoking, meanwhile there is one employee on the check out, and sometimes it's a "special" employee at that. Like a ninety year old trying to work a modern cash register. lol :D
