Just the fact she has to shoplift probably also means she has very little money or is struggling to get buy on her sallery. She's getting a baby soon and is maybe trying to save up because the US has no proper help to offer. Being shot and murdered by the police for a relatively harmles crime is beyond crazy for a society to accept. The policeman should be arrested for murder and abuse of power and Final put behind bars
As much as I don't think this woman should've been shot, shoplifting isn't usually done by people who "need/have" to and it's also usually items that aren't necessities. Ask anyone who works at an Ulta or makeup section of a department store. In fact, I watched a lady run out of an Ulta into a car that sped off who, according to employees, stole a bunch of perfume and they told me and my girlfriend they were likely going to resell the perfume online.
that's a lie they resell because they need the money to survive
The car the lady was driven off in was like decent looking ~2020 model car. Maybe it happens the way you say it does, I don't know. I'd like to see data that shows if either how you what you say is true or not, but generally when I've personally witnessed shoplifting it's not done by people who seem like they're truly struggling.
But then they bought more perfumes with that money. Since it was a significant amount, they got a discount but then sold those perfumes for MRP. They kept doing this over and over and before you know it Bob's your uncle and they started a chain of perfume shops globally. Now they are the fatcat CEOs of Global Perfumes Inc. and spend considerable resources per annum to make sure people don't shoplift from their stores.
Hey we can't all just partner with nazis like Coco Chanel to launch our brands.
