A woman in Florida says her 55-year-old “medically fragile” father was falsely accused of theft at a Florida grocery store last week and then seriously injured in a violent encounter with police. Now, she says, he is hospitalized and has lost the ability to speak.

I don’t agree with that logic.
You are stripping away everyone’s free will except the employee.
At any point during this, anyone could have made different decisions and just stopped this whole thing

Friend, I already agreed to that.
My statement is that everyone here was an adult and they all made poor choices.
Granted that the dudes action was small, but now that I think about it that was actually what started it.
It should have stopped with just asking the cashier how many bananas he paid for.
They did not even need to bother asking him and risking someone just thinking they were being called a thief.
I know that is how I feel every time I get asked for a receipt, and I am a middle aged white guy in redneck country, god only knows how often he probably has to deal with it.
Do y’all’s grocery stores charge by number of bananas? Mine does if by weight. Not that I think that makes a difference, if I keep seeing people taking about paying for an extra banana so im curious.
People do it with grapes too, also sold by weight. But here we only have a few. Surely she could have typed in 1/3 extra weight and been pretty damn close
Many cashiers can’t do math tho, and if you ask them to they think you’re trying to scam them.
I think the fact that this guy had a medical flareup that the potassium in the bananas would help will help him in court, if he would even be able to go to court.
