I haven't watched the video, so don't know exactly how it started, did the LPO's identify themselves and ask him to stop, or did they simply run out of the store behind him and jump on him and start beating him with no warning?

I don't agree that pulling an illegal weapon on someone is self defense.
The way I see it, again, is a person carrying an illegal weapon, and having the capability to use it on a person, in a circumstance like this, is a dangerous person. Especially if they had not committed the shoplifting.
If he was innocent of shoplifting, getting jumped by Wal-Mart LPO's is like winning the effing lottery, the law suit to follow would have made him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he threw that out the window when he attempted to kill a guy.
