| 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.

| 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.

| | I hope you will accept their "apologies" gracefully. What can be
gained
| by
| | anything else? If you were to play hardball at this point, it will
look
| bad
| | later when they say they "offered apologies and dropped charges, but
| nothing
| | was good enough."
| | "After all," they will say, "it is our responsibility to minimize
| pricing
| by
| | controlling loss, for the sake of our customers, no matter the
reason."
| | Let it go.

| | You bet....
| |
| | I've just heard they seem to have changed their tune and want to
| "talk"...
| |
| | They are willing to drop the charges if we will "cease & desist"
this
| | campaign.
| |
| | Apparently this is not the first time such an incident has
transpired
| with
| | this firm!!
| |
| | You can guess our reply....
