Who said back in the day? One is an NYPD cop who works out out One Police Plaza in Manhattan. He said it was horrible to watch. One is retired. Other two work for small towns in NJ.You know the police officer is looked up to and a respected member of community.
As fascinating as all that is, you still haven’t explained how shoplifting suspects who don’t want to be detained should be detained.
Is a suspect’s objection to arrest enough to forestall the arrest? Is that how they’re doing in NYC under de Blasio these days?
