re: Parents handcuffed and arrested after 4yr took a doll from the Dollar store

This is what I’m saying.

Kid steals something, let the parent know and let them handle it.


But having the cops roll up 100% wide open? Naw playa.

I worked retail when I was in college. We had a kid come in with his mom, and we saw him take a pair of $10 headphones and put it in his pocket.

When his mom was paying for her stuff, we told her that we saw your son taking a pair of headphones, and placed the empty packet on the counter. Mom gave her son “the look”, and told him to pay for it.

Boy didn’t have any money. Mom said “we’ll i don’t have any money either”....Mom made the boy call his dad, and dad has to leave work, come to the store and pay for the headphones.....

JUST SO, an off duty cop was in the store and he gave the boy a good talking too, and asked him what school he goes to?

Boy said McKinley High. Cop said McKinley? I’ll be having a talk with Mr. Brown tmmw. (The longtime principal).

So the boy got it from his mom, dad, cop, and school principal.


All over a $10 pair of headphones

I'm going to show this video to my kids so they know what happens when they steal

Cops shouldn’t pull their gun out unless the plan on using it. No way were they taught to shoot someone over petty theft

Gotta be more to this. Seems excessive to arrest over a toddler stealing an item from the store unless cameras showed the parent told the kid to do it.

I remember I was around 5 and mad my dad wouldn’t buy me a candy bar so I stole one from the store. Let’s just say when he found out I never did it again.

While I agree in spirit, the response by the cops was just a TAD too much

And if all that is in the report is everything that happened, I agree. But the way the cops acted makes it seem like the couple had either tried to elude the cops or were ignoring/resisting them.

What more do you need to justify pointing a gun at an infant?

Nothing those trashy parents did or were alleged to have done, warrants that type of response from the cops.

I can agree with that

Well.. Apparently there was more shoplifting that just the barbie doll. There were 4 adults with multiple shoplifting going on. Also dude driving off from the scene after being told by the cop not to leave.

So this wasn't just a Young child took a Barbie doll simple here. There is way more to it.

Unfortunately, these videos typically only start after things escalate. I'll wait for all the info to come out.

In my experience allegations in a personal injury lawsuit are always true, understated, and never embellished. They also never leave out critical facts that the case usually turns on.
