Where was the store manager?. It should also have been obvious to anyone within earshot of the checkout that he was struggling and needed assistance. Instead, he was harrassed, arrested, dragged to a police car and then locked up - all while he was pleading to understand what it was that he'd done wrong. Shameful.

Target had no problem with the man. The popo made all of that up.

[@DerekNielsen-bg7mc]

Correct this is regarded as people with disabilities act and there is a lot of violation here. Both Target and officer Skeens here both discriminated this here man. If you can remember officer or should I say former officers Skeens murdered a man in cold blood at a gas station stating he's got a gun. They found no gun. He was acquitted on that charge but perhaps and I only hope that this here violation is a nail in the coffin. I know one thing though and at least it's a good thing is he can never wear a badge again. Have you ever noticed that when a bad cop winds up fired or arrested, they claim they are the victims. We the taxpayers who are supposed to support our local law enforcement we are the criminals the police are just the victims. Actually it's called the camera and all seeing eye that never blinks and never sleeps. As you can see or hear officer Skeens says that it's all being recorded. But as we all know the camera can be just as dangerous as a weapon to the police as a gun, because a camera plays no favorite. The camera did not convict the disabled man but rather it was the camera that convicted officer Skeens.

Or maybe guide him over to the Customer Service counter. Sometimes the self service machines won't take crumpled bills (which I think might have been the handicapped guy's problem) so you have to find a cashier to take your money and make your purchase. It would have been so much easier, not to mention more humane and not career ending, to have helped the man rather than come up with a BS reason to arrest him.

It's ridiculous. Until you leave the store without paying, having store property in your possession is perfectly legal, even if it's concealed, even if it appears that you're going to steal, no crime has taken place. You can be asked to surrender the property and be asked to leave and trespassed, but it is not theft until it is. This case makes zero sense. No crime committed, no probable cause, nothing.
