Lawsuit: Walmart cop severely beats customer for pretty much no reason




ATLANTA —
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.

On a case this size they will probably hire a private detective to follow him and his family members and close friends to dig dirt on anyone they can. They will drag it out and make his life miserable. As the case nears trial they will run extra Wallmart commercials about how much good they do for the local economy and what a good corporate neighbor they are. If it gets really close to trial they will have an amazing sale to bring a lot of potential jurors into their store. After paying their attorneys as much or more than they settle with him they will settle the case.

Think I am kidding, BP followed our client who lost both her mother and father in an explosion in their plant that killed 15 and injured thousands around the clock for three and a half years. They took pictures of all of our firms attorney's houses and family members until one attorney happened to block one in his driveway while she was taking pictures through the living room window of his little girl. We had to file a Motion with the court for them to turn the pictures over. They denied it happened, not knowing the PI came clean so the judge caught them lying about it.

They had one of my boss in a club with his busty fiancé and three of her very busty friends, his arms around two on each side in a picture they thought was from a strolling photographer selling pictures in the club. We transposed the top four male BP defense lawyers faces on the women's bodies and made T-shirts out of it which he wore to the next deposition in their office! They served his fiancé with a trial subpoena and told the judge it was in case he leaked confidential information to her in "pillow talk." The most shocking thing was that the judge allowed it, but cautioned him that what's good for the goose is good for the gander. She urged him to re-think making his fiancé sit outside the courtroom for 6 weeks waiting for a call to come in and testify that would never come.

We served his wife at the River Oaks Country Club, the most exclusive club in Houston while playing cards with her lady friends. He had the nerve to come into court asking for sanctions against us for it and literally turned purple! The judge laughed so hard she could barely get out the words, "I told you not to do it!" She actually, with our help of course, literally laughed him out of court!

That's justice in America now!

that piece of excrement eight ways to Sunday and then some. And the store and anyone who helped this to take place.

Somebody crowdsource a really good lawyer for this guy.

So sick of this society and its f'ing violence first groupthink.

I'd sue the shit out of the cop, the department for training him, the store, the manager and the Wal-mart Corporation and I would refuse a settlement unless it showed a public acceptance of responsibility and the manager and cop's job.
