Cop buys grandma eggs to feed hungry family after she’s caught shoplifting (VIDEO)

http://rt.com/usa/213355-grandmother-shoplifter-eggs-police/

Yep all cops are evil!

Obstructing traffic, using a cell phone when driving. I didn't see the cops beating anyone.

ok i'll give you that one.....

so it's good cops:1
bad cops: 2453457393478827323747923947

and didn't they try to charge her with attempting to run over the police? pretty sure that's a hardcore crime, like go to prison for many years type of crime....

and this is after they tried to destroy the video evidence as well???

you can't seriously be defending the police actions here can you?

Yes IMO she was just on a fishing expedition and got a bite.

The cops were not beating anyone. She should have moved along when told to do so.

and because she didn't, she should get tased, and railroaded on trumped up felony charges?

considering she didn't actually break any laws whatsoever?

I walk the streets all the time, often times passing by cops. Never been harassed once. But I don't act like an idiot around them either. I don't do everything I can to provoke a reaction from them. And I don't break the law.

I actually feel safer when there is a police presence, especially walking in urban areas. When they aren't around... well thats when I feel my safety is endangered.

Tell you what: you act like the above, and then let me know when a cop harasses you. Then we will talk...

So what Law Enforcement are you from?

I feel the opposite. I mean look at the situation in Times Square NYC where the police fired recklessly in a crowded area hitting innocent bystanders in the process. Police protection, no thanks.
