Imagine driving around, probably with a punisher logo somewhere on your uniform or gear, and then posting your big bust of… store brand groceries
No one else has pointed it out yet but this cop also somehow got himself a $90k Hellcat for his patrol car.
They weren’t even stealing name brand groceries! Lots of those are store brand products.

Thank you for adding this. I’ll see if I can sticky it to the top for anyone who needs to see it.
Having to steal food is super tiresome. Would rather not have to, but I’ve never felt bad about doing it. Imagine that. The normalization of the degradation is my issue personally. Putting people on one side of a moral line based on bullshit economic factors that for the one stealing are a kin to the winds of fate.

Just because somebody stole food because they’re an asshole doesn’t mean that everybody who steals food is an asshole.
We don’t actually know which is true here, but we do know that it’s far more likely someone is stealing groceries because the wealth inequality horrorshow has grown even more perverse in the last year.
Nevertheless, rather than defending an unnamed person from potentially reprehensible police, you defended the police and an unnamed retail store from a potentially reprehensible person.
I hope you’ve got shares in a grocery chain because it would be deeply pitiful if you weren’t even doing this out of self-interest.
Call me crazy but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt before assuming the worst when I don’t know their situation.

Those African American people during Jim Crow and segregation in the south sure were immoral when they committed such criminal acts as using the wrong drinking fountain and sitting on the good part of the bus.
All of those Jewish criminals during Nazi Germany sure were immoral for I dont know, existing maybe?

If only you could stack “wage theft” on the back of a dodge for a social media photo op and brag about how the criminal behind it is being refused bail.

They also stole condoms, the ones they harm the most is their direct neighborhood when cheap stores leave the area and the remaing stores shift the burden of lost merchandise onto the paying customers.
Condoms, which should be free.
No person lost their job or saw a difference in price due to this amount of theft. Stop spouting corporate propaganda.
I think the person you responded to pointed out the condoms because they believe food-insecure people shouldn’t have sex. Which is silly–you don’t always have a choice in sex (not everyone’s relationships are healthy). And if you’re going to have sex, preventing unwanted pregnancy and disease is the responsible choice.
What is it about condoms specifically that somehow make this cross the like into doing economic damage to a whole neighbourhood lol.
Ok, so here is my apparently unpopular opinion: Stealing is bad, and trying to justify it is not ok and dangerous.
A hungry person stealing needed food is never immoral. A hungry person stealing from companies involved in making their life desperate enough to need to steal is highly moral.
Defending the wealthy against hungry people is immoral.

What an interesting and compelling argument.
I’m sure it’ll help many people understand your point of view, and persuade them to change theirs.

Hahha wtf, now they are asking us to “support” the shoplifters? Lol fuck that. Go to work
Shoplifting isn’t right, but there are deeper issues than shoplifting if someone has to shoplift basic needs.
Yea, people not working and just taking stuff is the basic problem
You mean like billionaires right?
Yea, so enoying when they go shop lifting
Just let me ask you this, if you were hungry and had no money, would you consider stealing? Is the moral prohibition of theft stronger than your life?
If so please justify how you valuate property rights vs right to life, and where the limits are?
