I "allowed it to happen" because I'm not about to gamble a decade+ in prison pulling out a knife or gun to be able to physically match the power of a gigantic bouncer on the hope the detainment is found unlawful, all over $5 in cat litter.

Unless by "let it happen" you mean I didn't let it happen then sue walmart, which would have zero deterrence effect on them as any lawsuit for a few minutes unlawful detention would be a rounding error on their balance sheet, and likely at my own expense since it's basically my word against another's and his army of corporate lawyers.

Uh not, it isn't "your word against theirs" -- a competent attorney will put a litigation hold on the CCTV footage, and they'll do it on contingency.

Makes me wonder if maybe you're being accurate, since you'll telling an unusual story and inventing reasons not to seek redress.

Also it'd be a criminal matter, not just a civil one -- having their LP have to get bailed out of the county jail sends a message.
