I'd actually at least somewhat disagree. I think that what happened does deserve a certain amount of ranting. Yes, there are more "worthy" causes, but this cause still has worth.
A man died, and it is due to people taking actions that shouldn't have been done that way. The "company policy" about very much pursuing shoplifters, and the amount of force to be used when detaining them was a major factor in that death, which takes it out of "company policy" and puts it in the public and legal arena.
Yes, there's probably a certain amount of over-ranting on it, but I still think it is entirely appropriate for people to be angry/up in arms about this.
