I am afraid that I don't get the point of this article.
Walmart is often the victim of shoplifters, fraudsters and other criminals. It catches many of them in the act and delivers them to the police as it is proper.
What is it supposed to do instead, shoot them on the spot?
They don't control their own clientele. Bars have bouncers for this, and will be shut down for being a public nuisance if police have to disproportionately waste resources there.
Walmart is the worst public nuisance in the US when excess police visits are counted. This, combined with much of their profit being from food stamps while they pay their employees so little that they have to be on food stamps, makes Walmart the largest private beneficiary of public assistance in the country.
Which surprisingly pisses those of us off that pay taxes and work for a living.
