Update: WalMart's Clarification on Why East Greenbush Employee was Fired for Redeeming $2 in Cans and Bottles.
Corporate needs to get in front of this and tell the local store to stop talking. Every time someone in that store talks, they look worse. Gross misconduct for $2 worth of used cans? Yea, you need to shut up 'cause you're just digging a hole.
Now here's the part that bothers me even more. They had him work extra hours, presumably because they needed the shift covered, THEN they fired him. They knew what happened before hand so some ferret said "let him finish his shift first", then they dropped the bomb.

US tycoon Robert Durst 'didn't mean' confession, lawyers say.
Tycoon is used rather liberally here. He came from a family with money, he has money from a trust. He never really held a meaningful job at the family business or really worked for that matter.
Agreed. He was involved with running the business for ~18 years according to the show, but he himself also said he never really did much other than show up. His brother and father really ran things.
He's no Tycoon. He's a killer.
I really didn't get that he was that much involved with running it from the show. He couldn't even list a job title he had when he was asked. I did like the part when asked if he was fired, "No, not really. I just stopped going in". It was so office space.

How have cops not recognized that they are on tape *immediately* as any situation begins to escalate?
Modern technology is seriously undermining police credibility. You'd think they'd recognize a pattern here.
Do you think they care?
Surely they know by now that even if they admit on camera that they've done something horrific and illegal, they'll just get some administrative leave
During the interview a few days later, they'll be coached to say the weasel phrases they all learn:
