Spangler was resisting the Meijer rent-a-cops when they broke his neck.  I
don't remember any criminal charges being filed and I believe Meijer settled a
civil suit out of court.

As for me, I shop at Meijer only for groceries.  Their prices on dairy products
are pretty good, and the produce prices are okay if the produce is any good
(but you do have to check it carefully).  If I have any real shopping to do, I
go elsewhere.  I have never had a problem with double charging or security.
