Walmart manager accuses man of stealing tomato and cop breaks man's leg.

A local man said an off-duty police officer working security for Walmart severely beat him after he was falsely accused of stealing a tomato. After he was handcuffed to his hospital bed with a broken leg and severed artery, Tyrone Carnegay told Channel 2’s Craig Lucie he spent three days in jail and the charges were dropped.
In security video the officer is seen confronting Carnegay as he is walking out of the store. The officer is then seen suddenly pulling out his baton and then beating Carnegay for stealing a tomato, which he said he paid for. “He’s giving me a verbal command. As he’s grabbing me, he’s beating me at the same time. ‘Get on ground.’ Beating me at the same time,” Carnegay said as he watched the surveillance video. Lucie counted the officer striking Carnegay with his baton at least seven times. “
My leg started giving out,” Carnegay said. He said the officer never asked for a receipt or told him why he was questioning him. Doctors said the repeated blows cracked two bones in Carnegay’s right leg and ruptured an artery. “I was chained to my bed in Grady. They said I assaulted him and obstructed him from doing his job,” Carnegay told Lucie. According to a lawsuit Lucie obtained, the Walmart manager told the officer that Carnegay stole a tomato in the October 2014 incident. Carnegay said after he was on the ground in handcuffs, the officer reached into his pocket found his receipt, which he said showed he paid for the tomato. His attorney said this could have been avoided with one question. “Somebody could have come up to him and said, ‘Excuse me sir, do you have (a) receipt for that tomato?’ and he would've shown him the receipt,” said attorney Craig Jones. “The officer went into Robocop mode and beat the crap out of him.” Lucie contacted Walmart about the video and lawsuit.
Searched. He's getting $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

There is no company more petty and greedy than Walmart.

Qualified immunity will strike again, just watch- this cop won't pay a dime, or face any sort of penalty. Walmart, however will pay big.

Walmart minimum wage increase will fix this

I hope he gets a couple million. That cop should already be fired and in jail.

Cop is a POS. He is getting paid twice. Once by wal mart and the other by whoever employs the guard or officer.

If you are suspected of committing a crime and confronted by a cop, just comply with his commands. For crying out loud, it's not that hard of a concept. You'll avoid getting injured or worse, and the truth will come out.
For the record, I think the cop's use of force does not seem justified, but it's the same story over and over again.

While Walmart should start new hires at $15 or more (and could easily afford it), the only point I was making was that Walmart is greedy and miserly in their pay and all other facets of their business (except for dumping billions on the Walton family).
Management won't have a problem with what the cop did.

still patiently waiting on that email

I would gladly take the beating knowing the payday that is imminent. Probably try and get him to go to town on the other leg so I could double the pot.

TPorky was not acting as an officer of the law when he is getting paid to act as a security guard for Walmart. Also there's the little detail that no conversation was had before the beatdown occurred. No person has an obligation to obey a rent-a-cop security guard, certainly when they have done nothing wrong. Security is there to protect customers/employees and prevent theft. Once a supposed theft has occured they are to contact law enforcement on duty.
