Scared Straight... I see no problem with the actions by the cops to teach a budding thief to respect the laws and that stealing will not be tolerated. You need to discipline these children in a way that scares them straight. I am certain the mother encouraged this kid to steal, because of white privilege. I can see the reaction of the mother... “You cops are racists! My little boy do nutn’ wrong. He just hungry! Y’all hates black people!”
A black kid is traumatized, but if it were a white kid being schooled the same way... crickets.
Disgusting.
The only reason to operate those stores in such sh!tty areas is to harvest our welfare dollars back from our permanent criminal underclass.
