This case needs to be highlighted to a DA or an org that will bring a suit to have the PD pay for this man’s hospitals bill and some sort of settlement for the distress caused to him and his family.

Very poor decision by the daughter to grab a weapon from her car and come back to threaten the employee. I hope she reflects on her decision to do that, and the consequences that followed.

Was it though? Would you not defend an elderly family member from a frothing at the mouth racist?

They should have left the area, escalating the conflict didn’t help anyone.

They were followed out of the store and berated in the parking lot. They only had to stay in the area because they had not finished business at the laundromat yet.

I think leaving the store was part of the problem, not the solution. That’s when it becomes shoplifting. That’s when you can no longer get the cashier to tell everyone you paid for it
