I just acquired the Golden Gate Bridge but willing to let it go, cheap.
I bought it from a guy on craigslist who is from Nigeria who is the nephew of the president. I sent him $1,000 but he has a cashier's check for $5,000 and I can keep it just as soon as my $1,000 clears his bank.
I would venture to guess that WalMart took care of this fairly quickly. At will employees are exactly that and I would bet they WalMart no longer needs their services..
The guy's past is almost meaningless legally unless the officers might have known that he is accused of having shot someone. That might tend to give them a "reasonable belief" that he might be violent. I doubt the officers knew any of that, if it is true.
It would make for an interesting conversation on whether a good person or a bad person was killed.
Of course the police video showing the guy getting out with the gun in his hand, not having his hands up as at least one witness claimed on a video.... makes a huge difference.
