Walmart's Out-Of-Control Crime Problem Driving Police Crazy...

[paulitician]

Another reason not to shop at Walmart. Biggest criminal hangout in the world. I mean, besides jail. I would advise folks to avoid Walmarts late at night especially. And before all you Walmart apologists freak out, read the article. It's costing you the Taxpayer bigtime.


The retailer’s aggressive cost cutting has unintended consequences

Darrell Ross—Officer Walmart to his colleagues in the Tulsa Police Department—operates for up to 10 hours a day out of the security office of a Walmart Supercenter in the city’s northeast corner. It’s a small, windowless space with six flatscreen monitors mounted on a pale blue cinder-block wall, and on this hot summer day, the room is packed. Four Walmart employees watch the monitors, which toggle among the dozens of cameras covering the store and parking lot, while doing paperwork and snacking on Cheez Whiz and Club Crackers. In a corner of the room, an off-duty sheriff’s officer, hired by Walmart, makes small talk with the employees.

As soon as Ross walks in the door, around 2 p.m., he’s presented with an 18-year-old who tried to leave the store with a microwave oven...


His squad’s sergeant, Robert Rohloff, a 34-year police veteran who has to worry about staffing, budgets, and patrolling the busiest commercial district in Tulsa, says there’s nothing funny about Walmart’s impact on public safety. He can’t believe, he says, that a multibillion-dollar corporation isn’t doing more to stop crime. Instead, he says, it offloads the job to the police at taxpayers’ expense. “It’s ridiculous—we are talking about the biggest retailer in the world,” says Rohloff. “I may have half my squad there for hours.”

Drudge, let's blow it so far out of proportion to reality for the pure sensationalist value Report.

Yeah, I read it, one store and that means ALL Wally Worlds are havens for criminals.

It's actually a Bloomberg article. And yes, Walmart does have a serious criminal-haven problem. And you the Taxpayer are paying for it. Ask your local Police.

 

[Dekster]

So the police are upset they are having to arrest people instead of eating doughnuts in the park between their naps?

 

[Carla_Danger]

I thought Walmart had been taken over by Jade Helm .

 

[leftwinger]

I always see people wave items over self-chekout but they don't ring up. Into the bag they go........yes yes indeed.

Well, that's not what they're complaining about. They're complaining about resources and the costs. And it's costing you the Taxpayer bigtime. They're actually lookin out for you.

Let Walmart hire their own "police" and start shooting the thieves as looters. If you want Walmart to privately fund it, does that mean they can do what a private citizen has the right to do to someone stealing from their homes?

And we pay for their employees who are underpaid through welfare programs too. But they've managed to do that for years without any problem under the excuse "they are a business" so now they are doing more things until people care

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Well, that does it. Gubmint needs to step in and shutdown all Walmarts.

Yes, every time I go to WalMart now there are masked guys with guns walking around breaking windows, looting and starting fires. It's out of control

Walmart crime is out of control. And you the Taxpayer are paying for it. So enjoy that cheap shitty Chinese-made toaster. You're paying through the nose in other ways.

Not a math major, were you?

1) Taxpayers pay their full freight

2) Taxpayers pay them some after they work at WalMart

That costs MORE money? You're loonie k-k-kazoney

I would wager that all the stores do have a major crime problem. It isn't just one store.
