Re: Friend robbed at gunpoint, east stroudsburg walmart
I'd do several things...
1) go to the local district magistrate & let him/her know that the PD refused to take a report. I once had a situation where my girlfriend's ex was stalking us & the local PD wanted to brush it off... when I finally had him arrested, it went to the magistrate who upon hearing the background, told me that if I EVER have the police refuse to take a report for anything ever again, he wanted to know about it asap.
2) go to the internal affairs department of your local PD. In the end, they will brush it under the rug & tell you that they found that their officers did nothing wrong, but at least there will be some paperwork filed and the department will know that she is a squeeky wheel... next time she'll be more likely to get some grease in the form of a report & some kind of investigation.
3) Write to the newspapers, and go to the local TV news. Give WM & the department to publicity they may not want but apparently deserve very much so.Let us never forget the sacrifice of those who have fought for us all.

Re: Friend robbed at gunpoint, east stroudsburg walmart
All of the above are good comments and I would have certainly pointed the leo to the potential for video surveillance of the area.

That particular WM just upgraded their entire video system. If she was within 100' of the building, they are on the hard drive....

Re: Friend robbed at gunpoint, east stroudsburg walmart
She said she "parked pretty far back, and didn't bother looking for a spot up close, because she didn't mind walking, since it was so nice out".
I'm sure she was beyond 100 feet away from the building. By the time you get to the first row of cars it's about 50 feet. The remaining 40 or 50 feet would only cover the first 4 or 5 rows.

Don't they have any cameras mounted on light poles in the parking lot? The Walmart around here probably has over 50% of the parking lot covered by cameras

Re: Friend robbed at gunpoint, east stroudsburg walmart
MY vehicle was parked in walmart's parking lot at night and was vandalized by a group of teenagers playing shopping cart hockey. When I returned to my vehicle it was very clear shopping carts were the culprit although no one was around. I contacted the local police and the next day I contacted walmart loss prevention, they scanned the tapes and called me back and asked me to come back to the store. They showed me the tapes of the vandalism, I was parked 300' away so they couldn't make out any one or license plate. But they supplied the police with a copy of the tape and I was pleased with their level of cooperation and help. The car had $1250.00 in damage just from shopping carts and the tape showed a cart hitting it at 30 mph and flying over the car. It's amazing what people will do to destroy property and or rob in front of a camera.

Re: Friend robbed at gunpoint, east stroudsburg walmart
I call this Bs, this is all made up , someone's fantasy, it didnt happen. As in a lie.
NO police officer would arrive at the scene of a "robbery at gunpoint " and not take an official police report- just didnt happen.
The Walmart at east stroudsburg is loaded with cameras inside and out, the cops would have asked to see the vidoe first thing, and the cops saying that Walmart doesnt need the bad publicity (so they are not going to do thier jobs) is just plain laughable.
Its Bullshit folks!
