On February 10, 2020, Talmika Bates admits she shoplifted from a Brentwood Ulta Beauty.

According to the police report obtained by the ABC7 News I-Team, Bates and two others stole approximately $10,000 worth of perfume. "I was just a regular person like everybody else, trying to make away and it escalated," said Bates.


No you are not a "regular person like everyone else". You are a dirty rotten theif. Regular people get up and go off to work and don't get bitten on the head by a police dog.

1/3 plus expenses, there will be ambulance chasers lined up around the corner to gamble on a sympathetic jury on her behalf.

“Shoplifters” don’t steal 10K worth of merchandise. They enter with the intent, which is felony burglary. If you hide in the bushes so the officer can’t see you, the dog is willing to make sure you are not a threat.

Bates was in a getaway car with the other suspects that rammed a police cruiser, according to the police report and seen in dashcam video.

Several felonies committed here.

Not a *beep* given. 10,000 in merchandise and damage to the cruiser they hit. There was plenty of opportunity to surrender. Doggo is trained to hold on. My guess is she struggled against the canine which caused the loss of her scalp.

“I want the dog to be laid down, I want him to be fired, I want justice,” said Bates.

Ok Bay Area animal lovers. Calling PETA. She wants the dog killed.

Oh, I’m so sorry. Maybe you dumb a$$ you should have listened to Chris Rock. So tired of these lowlifes robbing and thinking they are the victims.

Justice for what? The level of entitlement is off the charts. She commits theft, rams a cruiser and hides from officers and yet she’s the victim. She wants a man fired, a dog killed and money for her injuries, which were caused by her own stupidity. I shouldn’t be, but I’m stuned. God help us all.

Did the perp warn the store before embarking on her shoplifting spree?.
