Would you or I get away scot-free with this behavior?

"Chattanooga Police Det. Kenneth Freeman will not face charges in an incident in which he shoved a 71-year-old greeter at the Wal-Mart in Collegedale to the floor after he tried to stop him while doing a receipts check."

On Christmas Eve, no less.

"Detective" Freeman shoved another customer who tried to intervene through a glass door, according to the article. This also isn't the first time the temperamental officer has been caught not being able to keep his hands to himself:

"Det. Freeman was involved in a scuffle with attorney Lloyd Levitt at the Courts Building in May 2007."

The only reason we haven't given "Detective" Freeman Jack-Booted Thug of the Week status is that he seems not to have been on duty at the time of the Wal-Mart incident. We can, however, give Freeman the public shaming he so richly deserves.

Hopefully Wal-Mart has banned this cowardly bully from ever shopping there again.
