Seems to me the clerk could have defused this, but chose instead to stand there like a mute fool.
Ah, so minimum wage workers should now how to act perfectly in life and death situations.....I think I get it.
Do you think that clerk gets lifetime health care, fat pension, union representation and the ability (99% plus chance) to be proven innocent if he shoots someone??
Expectations of people are in line with their responsibility. A clerk has very few.
The cop didn't see this guy pay for the item, only saw him reach over the counter to grab the mints instead of the sales clerk handing it over. The clerk should have spoken up sooner. THE COP APOLOGIZED.
Much ado about nothing. Good thing the customer wasn't black or the taxpayers would be on the hook for a fat settlement.
LMAO...nice.

Really? Where were the riots and protests over the murder of Alton Sterling?

The cop was an a$$ and shouldn't be a cop. I am pretty sure that if you are going to steal them you won't put it in your pocket in front of the clerk how is giving you change. I hope he sues the crap out of them.
i gotta agree with don here, i too normally support the cops, but in this case, no. this cop needs to be severely reprimanded, sent back to the academy and given a refresher course in dealing with the public, and possible petty crimes, at the very least.
personally i think the cop should be fired over the incident as he has proven that he is an irresponsible officer, and will probably be involved in a high profile shooting incident in the future.
i can see the clerk though, probably seeing someone pull a gun for the first time in his life, and not knowing what was going on and he just stood there in shock, so i give the clerk a pass.
I'm still struggling to wrap my head around the cop's logic.
Cop thought he saw a man stealing a pack of mints....so he pulled a gun on him?!
Yep, absolute stupidity on full display.
