Can y'all feel the love this morning?
Innocent until proven guilty is in a court of law. The question here would be probable cause, which they likely had.
This would fall under citizen's arrest and actually has less rules than a LEO arrest. As long as they had probable cause and didn't violate his fourth amendment rights they are in the right.
These are citizens and have the same rights as you and I including the accused.

Some of the comments disturb me, I hate thieves, but if you think that at individual should be apprehended and beaten by agents of a multi billion doller company over what you think is probable cause because you watched a 2 minute video of a parking lot altercation. These people are not law enforcement.
I was walking around Walmart once in the middle of the night getting ready for a camping trip, had a couple of these goons/ninjas/dumbasses following me around. Glad they didn't think I had anything, i carry a knife and a gun and don't like being beat up by people.
I have been followed by the mall no ja wannabes while shopping late at night, also. Difference is the Ahole in OP stole, left the building, and pulled a knife when confronted. He deserved what he got. Ninjas were VERY lucky.
Yet LP doing their job makes them goons/ninjas/dumbasses?
The badass comment was meant in jest. A badass wouldn't feel the need to mention he has a knife or a gun.
You stated you dislike thieves, but you are also against LP acting within the law to arrest one. You even state that you may have been followed because LP could have thought you were acting out of the norm, but still call them names.
I'm just not seeing your logic as anything other than you not liking a thief catching a whooping.

I'm now waiting for the day when they try this with someone who hasn't stolen anything and their stupid alarm goes off. I never stop, just keep walking. I figure I didn't do anything wrong and have no expectation of being assaulted. Could turn real ugly, real quick for them.
If the alarm goes off when I'm going out the door, I stop, throw my hands in the air and start hollering DON'T SHOOT! DON'T SHOOT!
