People are getting sick and tired of police not doing much because prosecutors aren’t doing jack due to “social justice”. It promotes vigilante behavior, and you’re going to see more of this.
I’m not sure that making license plates is a job.
How is allowing a consequence-free atmosphere of criminality and public thievery and looting contribute to "public safety?"
Shoplifter got away, but...
I’m not sure the concerned citizen should have intervened, since, with a more violent shoplifter, it could have cost him his life.
Let the store take action and move out of the neighborhood and perhaps out of the state.
I stand tall and salute this concerned citizen, but he took an awful lot of risks. He could have gotten knifed right there in the lobby. Then he follows the thief outside in the dark of night. Every Target I go to has either a Security Guard standing up front or one of the Red Shirted Staff standing their to check receipts. Where were they at?
The citizen probably doesn’t want his Target store to close.
The defendant is reportedly in jail and has been charged with burglary and grand theft.

I actually shop at that Target in Colma, and I don’t think that it’s in danger of closing. They recently expanded the store, adding a larger grocery area and more self-checkouts.
Would I personally intervene? No. Are the cops right to discourage the public, for their own safety, to refrain from getting physical with shoplifters? Probably. BUT from a deterrent standpoint, it doesn’t hurt if the thieving bums out there start to worry that maybe, just maybe some random dude is going to “make his day” kicking their butt
Good way to get stabbed or shot.

“I’m not sure the concerned citizen should have intervened, since, with a more violent shoplifter, it could have cost him his life.”
I agree. You never really know the outcome of such act, until it’s too late.
So true. There was a story out of Pennsylvania yesterday of a woman who recorded a toddler in a locked car. She was confronted by another woman (the mother?) who grabbed a bat from the trunk of the car and struck her with it. And when that wasn’t enough, ran over her with the car.
Just call the police.

The Police say, “ Don’t do something, just stand there.” How far we have fallen.
