Footnote to history. The moron from Cup Foods who called 911 over a bad 20.

Who calls 911 over one bad bill used to buy cigarettes?

The call led to billions in damage and several deaths. A single phone fall. I accept the underlying problems were still there and another event may have caused this but it was this one phone call.

What if that moron was afraid of losing his/her job and even more afraid to refuse the bill without police help?

You can't fault someone for reporting a crime. It may be minor, but there is a victim to paying with fake cash.

Sidenote: the caller is an idiot

You will never get a conviction and at best you might get your money back.

If there hadn't been a video, none of the trouble would be happening. Coroner would have blamed Rona and Fentanyl and anyone who questioned it would be dismissed as a conspiracy nut.

It seems that all they wanted was the cigarettes back.

Regardless, a crime is a crime and you cannot fault them for reporting that they were victimized.

This is the answer. You can't look back at the events since then with hindsight and blame it on the owner or cashier.

So now we are on to blaming the store owner instead of the drunk ex-con and the idiot cop

I always thought about the guy who videoed Rodney King back in '93.
If he had never videoed it, went to the trouble to give it to a local TV station,...

Any cashier that regularly handles cash should be able to feel the difference in the paper. Real money is printed on cloth

A law abiding citizen who doesn’t support federal crimes would be my guess. Maybe your next paycheck should be paid with Monopoly money and we’ll see how much you care.

Meh they have a job to do. Blame bad policing. That’s what this all boiled down to.
