Are you sure that the clerk is the "bad guy" in any of this? Admittedly, he
instigated the situation, But it traveled through a group of people, who
ALL should have exercised much better judgment. Seems like they ALL failed.
Probably the clerk and the cop who was ultimately the one sent to the house
are the two least culpable.

Of course, that's just the way I see it. YMMV

I don't disagree with you, Video Guy, but I guess I just expect more of
people, even a young (not sure how old he/she was) store clerk. I guess when
you get right down to it, we're all covering our asses. That's one of the
things I hate about the current climate in this country. When everything
starts boiling down to "CYA", nobody wins.
