shoplifter defended by woke

[gant]

If you leave it up to opinion then there will be anarchy.

The police withdrawing from policing shoplifting doesn't exactly help in the process of preventing anarchy.
Leaving it up to shopkeepers opinion, then they'll be some who resort to dealing with it how they see fit to protect their livelihood.

Hasn't it always been up to shopkeepers?

Maybe she attempted to leave the store.
There's no footage about that online (of course).
But I suspect this happened otherwise the man would've been arrested.

Which proves we don't know the full story yet

However, under "woke legislation" he should've let the woman steal, assault and let her go.

This is just made up nonsense.

To pick up a phone and phone the police when they used to police shoplifting, would seem the obvious thing to do.

Not around here they haven't.

They should disable their own cameras then and do whatever they like, that's how it seems to work in London.

True, but you have to admit that the police arrested the woman, not the man.
That's an indication that she did something wrong.

The police did attend.

This is just made up nonsense.

Not in today's world.
Look at the reaction from community and that charity.
They're siding with the shoplifter.
If it was up to them, it would be ok to enter any shop, take whatever you can and leave without paying.
That would soon result in no shops where to buy stuff.

I find it strange that you have to read your MSM reports "VERY CAREFULLY" to get a better understanding of what kicked it all off.

I don't find it strange that most don't read it VERY CAREFULLY & instead just form the opinion that the journalist wants them to.

Is it ?

Lots of possible reasons.

Do I support her? No, just waiting for a fuller picture

 

[johnny2007]

The police did attend.

Only because the woman had been detained.
They would've not attended if she'd gone.

Hard work isn't it

 

[denso13]

They're siding with the shoplifter.

Because they claim she was assaulted. It doesn't say anywhere that they were defending her stealing things.

Really? Where did you get that from?
