Officer Refuses to Arrest Man After Seeing What Item He Was Trying to Shoplift

What judge would grant sole custody to the father for a 6 month old infant?

Probably not many because only the mother can provide essential nutrients from her breast milk.

Not only that but baby formula is expensive. Around $30 per jar and they could go thru 2 jars a week.

Do you know how much profits the store would lose if everyone got away with it?

It is actually not that great for the infant's health but I do understand the mothers could occasionally not be around because she's dead or whatever.

But being poor is no excuse to steal because there's plenty of charities that would be more than willing to help out a single father in need.

Bulllshittt... They steal the baby formula and sell it for drugs..

Was there a single point to this post, or are you just throwing things out there hoping that something sticks?

Maybe where I live (southern Utah) does not reflect the way it is elsewhere, but the officer in this story is very reflective of the officers that we have here.

My experience has always been that the vast majority of law LEOs are good officers. This story doesn't surprise me at all.

what else doesn't surprise me is that people who break laws and believe that they are entitled to exemption of consequence are the people preaching about "abuse" and spewing all of the hate for cops.

One could search the entire internet for every negative/abuse of power story relating to LEOs EVER written, tally the total number of "bad" officers reported in all of American history, and that number would equate to FAR LESS than the total number of current, active-duty officers serving in this country at this very moment.

There is an agenda to sell the idea that ALL cops are "bad" and "abusive", and that is exactly why it is common to see "negative" police stories.

Yet, considering the number of current police officers, there would have to be over 100,000 new "abuse" stories every single day for it to be logical to assume that it is true that all cops are "bad".

Don't be an asshole!

yeah, i'll give it them, its a good cop story and nice to hear it i admit.

how much you wanna bet southern utah is a majority white area

Divided we are conquered!!!

Don't believe everything you read or see on TV.

Maybe they have been dividing citizens and cops by relentlessly playing up bad cops.

+1 this is comming from a person that has been in amd out out the system for years. Only met three to four bad cops. One an ex fbi agent actually bought me a hamburger while transporting me from jail ro jail. So yes only a handfull of bad police

Very well said, thank you!

.

Paying your tax dollars...

So..Did you use both dollars or just one??

No need to make any of this about race. Nothing in the original story is about race. This is a story about humanity, one toward another. That's it. And humanity stretches across all races, everywhere. Focus on that please.

.

Certainly all cops are human, some are dense and some are awake! This is a beautiful example of a police officer with the ability to see the being in the person. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, it is majority white people here. Our violent-crime rates are almost non-existent.

So are you saying that it is actually ghetto-dwelling, crime-embracing minorities that cause the problems on the street, and the cops, being human and fallible, do the best they can with a bad situation and it doesn't always turn out well for all involved?

Cause that's what I'm saying.

Yeah right. Infant formula is one of the best WIC food items to trade for cash or drugs in the ghetto.


The Black Market for Stolen Baby Formula Is Booming
Organized crime rings are making millions peddling the most innocuous white powder there is, and the street value is surging

Nguyen’s simple scheme is emblematic of a multibillion-dollar market for stolen baby formula that’s been growing for years. Ubiquitous and with a surging street value, infant nutritional supplements remain one of the most shoplifted items in the U.S., fostering a steady stream of organized crime syndicates that confound law enforcement agencies and retailers across the country.

If you are Low income and have a baby you automatically qualify for WIC and other benefits to provide all of your child's needs.

With BRIEF saying he should have tased him.

STOP HAVING KIDS YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO RAISE!!
GET AN ABORTION IF YOU HAVE TO. THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR

Put your money where your mouth is.

Open your door and welcome all theirs to take whatever they want.

Or are you only in favor of OTHER PEOPLE getting ripped off, hypocrite?

Baby formula is staple of theft rings

Theft of baby formula to be resold or used to cut illicit drugs is a burgeoning national problem, politicians and retail officials say.

Rhett Asher, vice president of industry relations for the Food Marketing Institute, says the thefts are part of a growing problem with organized retail crime.

POLICE OFFICERS LIKE THIS IS ARE A DIME A DOZEN. He deserves all the good fortune the universe has to offer. Great guy!

Couple netted $90,000 in just 6 months on full time baby formula theft binge

Couple would steal between 15 and 24 cans per visit

The formula would be hidden in their baby son's stroller

Staff became suspicious at 'lumpy' blankets

Duo arrested and son taken into care

Lucrative black market in baby formula as product is always in demand

More stores are locking up the cans to deter shoplifters

Good cops who protect bad copsbare bad cops. There are known bad cops in every department; therefore therevare no good cops.

That has nothing to do with this story.

This makes me happy. Nice to know empathy and compassion for others still exists out there.

With puppies and cuddles. Have you people learned nothing from that george zimmerman public relations heroics story? The press is allowed to.totally fabricate news stories. Freedom of speech. They are allowed to do so for cash money.

IT HAS ECERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS STORY,

Shitbags like this thief are stealing billions of dollars of formula and selling the free formula, that all low income people with babies qualify for,resulting in malnutrition.

My baby was 6 months old when the wife died he was still on formula .. It don't take a judge to decide what to do . Maybe this was the same thing ....
