#5 Look at that delinquent face. And the dark jacket he's wearing, dark, baggy pants. He could be hiding anything. Also, the bastard threatened and assaulted the store owner, so cops had to assume he was armed or dangerous. I hope they don't face problems with their PD.

#6 Who's to say the camera phone person wasn't set to go when the crime went down. Funny how this is truth to power but Project Veritas stuff is dangerous hate propaganda.

#7 Let's stipulate that guns are indeed horrifying, dangerous and icky, but consider: Sometimes an overwhelming show of force results in a peaceful outcome. Fight and flee might be an option if only one cop is on the scene, but when there are four with weapons drawn, surrender might be a better, safer option. At least if you want to live to shoplift another day.

#8 Anytime the usual sort of suspect is shot and killed when they could have easy surrendered or not attempted the crime in the first place, an anguished family member (or even a congress creature) moans that shoplifting, public drunkenness, etc is not a death penalty crime. Stupidity is not a death penalty crime. It does knock your life expectancy way down, however.

#9 Shoplifted and assaulted a store clerk. Who in their right mind thinks the tiny Asian and Hispanic lady cops should go and wrestle with that large black man?

#10 We all know (or so the LIE / MSM tells us) that big black guy is a "gentle giant." And that's not shoplifting, that's impromptu reparations.

Samuel Colt looks down and smiles.

#12 HARRY CALLAHAN: Every day for the past ten years, Loretta here's been giving me a large black coffee- except today she gives me a large black coffee and it has sugar in it. Alotta sugar. I just came back to complain.
CROOK: Say what, sucka?
HARRY: Well, we're not just gonna let you walk out of here.
CROOK: Who'se we sucka?
HARRY: [slowly drawing his .44 Magnum] Smith and Wesson... and me.

#14 I read (at the 'Burg) that $1000 in Cali is not shoplifting, but a trivial misdemeanor, not to be prosecuted. Dallas, TX was talking about s similar measure, up to $750 would be "free".

Jails are too crowded, donchaknow.
