I was reading up on this whole spiel and I think the store's employees called the police.  Really, the whole thing was around 5 minutes long so it's pretty reasonable they were all fought-out by the time the cops showed up.  Also, the city government is proposing fining Wal Mart for the absurd amount of times the police are called to that particular store.

Under the ordinance, Wal-Mart could be deemed a public nuisance, Buckley explained. The store would be notified by police, and officers would have the discretion to issue a ticket to the business any time they are called to the store.

Violators would face a penalty of $2,500 and court fees. With nearly 500 police runs to the store so far this year, the tickets could quickly become costly.


Since February 2014 Beech Grove police have made 1,278 runs to the store resulting in 473 arrests.

"We are going down there three or four times a day for theft and other issues, and we just can't do that anymore," Buckley said.

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd support such a thing.  Is it Wal Mart's fault that their business practices ensure the place is packed with rumble-ready poor trash?
