Well, I can understand your anger. If you've got the time to fight this one
that's great - but then why not go bigger? Why not go for changes in
Canada's protection laws for people with mental difficulties. What will stop
this from happening at some other store? It seems like you have the
necessary motivation, so why not think bigger?
Look at what happened to 86 year old reporter Mike Wallace in New York
yesterday (arrested and hand cuffed for having the audacity to ASK QUESTIONS
to a cop!). The abuse paradigm in our police systems has indeed trickled
down to all areas of security. Imagine 2 angry cops man-handling an old man
like that, and then reporting that he "was disrespectful and appeared close
to lunging." Jesus Christ, the paperwork they write can make anyone look
like a violent criminal, deserving of the beating the cops give them. Here's
what the Rev Casy said in "The Grapes of Wrath" when he was asked why the
cops arrested him: "I talked back."
John Steinbeck knew what he was talking about.

It was explained to them at the time and they could have taken action
then.
A short time later they attempted intimidation tactics to scare off the
family involved.

No Scout... this is just a sign of the fact we are having an effect on
their
policy. I plan to make certain we have a written policy change from
them...
apologies are easy when you don't mean them and dropping the charges are
easier when your lawyers advise you to.

Drop this?... no way!.... We'll stay the course until the white flag is
hoisted and the vessel stands down, comes about and meets our demands.

"talk"...
