According to police, an employee at the 7-Eleven on Center Street, across the street from the Stockton Police Department headquarters, called officers at 3:41 a.m. on July 28 to report a suspect who went behind the counter and threatened to shoot the victim if he intervened.
According to police, the man got away with several packs of cigarettes and other items that he placed in a large garbage bag before leaving.
Less than 24 hours later, on July 29 at 12:27 a.m., the employee called police again to report that the same suspect entered the store and demanded money while simulating having a handgun.
The employee didn't comply and the suspect grabbed food items and put them in a garbage bag before leaving, police said.
At 3:05 a.m. [on July 29], officers responded to the intersection in front of the store to meet with firefighters who were with a man complaining of pain in his leg and shoulder.
===========================
If these men are prosecuted - NEVER cooperate with police, and make sure all video is destroyed.
The American Jesters system is banana republic BS.
I would argue that we’re WAY beyond worrying about the perps on the street and need to exact extrajudicial punishment of those who abrogated their public service, thereby directly endangered the public.
It could be argued as a public service.
I agree, and it sounds like the employees have the receipts for their actions if the police station is across the street, the police have been called multiple times to no avail, and the perpetrator is suspected of having a gun.
They didn’t hit him enough times.
