Ah yes, those american police who are so well known for their thoughtful and calm approach to suspected shoplifters in low income neighborhoods.

You have an alternative for handling law breakers aside from just letting them do it?

Your insistence on framing people falsely accused of shoplifting as law breakers is telling.

This entire thread has been about false positives. Innocent people being falsely accused of shoplifting. The difference between committing a crime and not committing a crime is not simply semantics.

Police handle both. The "law breaking" aspect isn't proven until later. So the argument is moot anyway really.

And we return to hell on earth, where an innocent person is put through the grinder of the us justice system.
