“ Should they stop at Starbucks and pick up a Frappucinno for the ride?”
***********
Why not, if it’s an old lady with dementia picking flowers on the side of the road?
Here’s a pro/tip: Don’t believe ANYTHING you read in the craprag that is Vice.com. It’s a cesspool of liberal stupidity.
She wasn’t ‘picking flowers on the side of the road. She was shopping at Walmart. What kind of shopping? The LIFTING kind. A Walmart employee confronted her about the items she took, she ‘got physical’ and the store called the police. The police found her walking on the side of the road and made several attempts to get her to stop by - as he says - ‘lighting her up.’ She doesn’t stop, so he gets out and again tells her to stop, which she doesn’t do. So, quite correctly, he’s had enough and arrests her.
That’s how enforcing laws works. Old people don’t get to shoplift. Ladies don’t get to shoplift. Dementia patients don’t get shoplift.
