    Why do they even send cops to a shoplifting scene? Let the store deal with it. They have cameras, security guards, insurance.

      That’s what I don’t get. Everything in the fucking store is insured! A $20 pack of diapers is insured! The store will get that back, take it up as a loss.

      Sure you don’t want to encourage theft, but shit happens. Oops someone accidentally walked out with one item. Sure send someone out to inform the customer, maybe they legit missed it. If you can’t locate the customer or they already started to drive away, welp put that under accidental loss. It’s not that different from someone accidentally dropping a jar of pickles off the shelf. The store isn’t going to call the cops because of an accidental jar drop.

      But we all know it wasn’t the accidental shoplifting, it’s because she was black. That’s the ONLY reason why the cops were called. Because of the color of her skin. And then the trigger happy racist as fuck cop saw that and shot first and never asked questions. It’s past time there were serious fucking consequences for these fucking piece of shit pigs (cops).

      I’d fucking boycott that fucking store and the owner. Force corporate to act over this shit.
