Another good reason to avoid Wal-Mart?

Last week, four Wal-Mart employees were fired for potentially saving lives.

Long-time employees of Wal-Mart’s Layton, Utah, store had apprehended a suspected shop lifter. After taking him to an office and relieving him of his swag, he became aggressive upon hearing the police were coming for him. He pulled out a handgun and threatened them if they didn’t let him go.

They responded reasonably by using physical force to restrain and disarm him, potentially saving not only their own lives but the lives of innocent shoppers. Even the police reported that they acted appropriately, considering the suspect was armed and threatening to shoot.

Wal-Mart corporate was only concerned that the employees violated company policy by not disengaging and retreating. (Can anybody run faster than a speeding bullet?)

Apparently, Wal-Mart expects employees to die in order to uphold company policy.

(Good video coverage on tap, too.)
