Police in Kendall County, Illinois said Friday that they were investigating whether an off-duty officer drew his firearm and pointed it at a pregnant woman because she had more items than Walmart recommends for self-checkout lanes.
Nicole Thurmond and husband Jason were reportedly checking out recently at a Walmart store in Oswego, Illinois when a man confronted them wearing civilian clothing, not identifying himself as an officer. The couple said it was only after his gun was drawn that the man told onlookers he was a police officer.
Jason Thurmond was subsequently arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery. The couple has filed a formal complaint, which sparked the inquiry.
Its about time someone stands up to these fools who think that the rules don't apply to them.

Please. An altercation over 30 items instead of 20 items or some stupid B.S. like that? Aren't we supposed to act like adults after we're grown? I wouldn't even let my kids moan about anything as trivial as that. Sometimes I go through that line with one item, sometimes maybe its 25. Sometimes I get really frustrated as someone tries 10 different payment types, and they all get declined, but I also have some empathy for a fellow human being trying to do the best they can. You have no idea of their situation in life, and is it really that important to get out of Walmart 2 minutes sooner?
