A Georgia man, who was seen by Target employees stealing a TV, was caught red-handed after a police officer was waiting to arrest him at the store's exit. The alleged shoplifter and the responding police officer engaged in a dramatic tussle in the store as well as in the parking lot.
The Atlanta Police Department said in a social media post that law enforcement was called in the evening to a local Target store on Monday, August 7 after the store called law enforcement after a man was stealing an expensive television.
When they arrived, officers followed the unnamed suspect from the store. When the suspect spotted the responding officer, officials say he ran.
Body camera footage released by police shows the officer catching up to the suspect just outside the store and the pair begin to fight.
"I don't want to go to jail," the suspect is heard wailing in the body camera footage. "I don't want to go to f------ jail."
The pair continued to fight at the entrance of the Target store until additional officers responded to the scene. Footage from police shows the pair grappling on the pavement in front of the store as onlookers watched in horror.
"Please stop, I need to go to the hospital," the suspect is repeatedly heard saying in the footage.
According to authorities, the man was charged with felony shoplifting and felony obstruction.
The officer and the alleged shoplifter had minor injuries following the altercation, police said.

Improper planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
When in distress, call upon St. george Floyd. And keep calling till he hears you.
Thief is white - St. George ain’t helping
Now I am curious which in-town Target?
Clearly answering the W questions is beyond our modern journalists, “Where” in this case.
If he doesn’t want to go to jail, he should move to Kalifornia. Shoplifting is legal there.
Dat dere [negro] done got lynched!
White? Well, there goes the whole FR narrative.
Dumbass got greedy. Ha-ha!
Now, see, if you had the right melanin content, you could have instead said "I can't breathe"
He was just acting black hoping for St. Floyd treatment.
It is called “cultural appropriation”.
;-)
If you walk on a minefield not every single mine will kill you—just enough to make you very dead.
“Mines are safe” is not a good narrative.
;-)
Today’s version of “Don’t Tase Me, Bro!”,
Except, the thief is more heard than ever seen.
Don't be a thief in Georgia son.
Well, the excerpt says that the Atlanta Police responded so I think we can rule out Utah.
So, would the officer have done the same thing if the suspect had been black?
I think we all know the answer to that question.
Certain people walk around with licenses to steal. Other people do not.
“Thief is white - St. George ain’t helping”
Yep, jail is assured for him unless he can PROVE he belongs to a special class of people, such as Trannies.
More of Satan’s animals in the country! They all need to be put away!!
The City of Atlanta proper has a population of about 1/2 a million, and there are at least 3-4 Target stores located therein.
Speaking as a (somewhat) local (it’s less than 1-1/2 hours away), with some familiarity with the detail, it would be nice to know which one. Not that I’m not already avoiding the City of Atlanta proper in general. I have been since the Rayshard Brooks riots of 2020 and some insider knowledge behind the political/legal/policing situation down there.
