That's a serious indictment. What is the supporting evidence? How many police vs. shoplifter encounters are there? Since you claim that police will shoot anyone, how many police vs. non-police encounters are there? How many of each situation result in police action shootings?
Oh I dont know, just watch the news just about any day and you will see another police shooting. I am not saying that most of them are not justified, but there are a number that have been in recent news releases that are in no way justified.

Many years ago in America it was legal to shoot thieves. Just interesting food for thought.
Well it's up to them whether they want to send up charges, then up to the prosecutor whether he/she wants to pursue it.. If they do send up criminal recklessness by definition it would be the felony version since a deadly weapon was involved...

Maybe soon we'll see LTCH holders setting up by the side of the road to stop shoplifters before they get to the store.

That would be a good deterrent.....better if they were open carrying.
Just a couple at each exit would cut down on the stealing problem.
As it is there is no incentive NOT to steal from others. All they get is a slap on the wrist. This country needs to lift the laws a bit and let the people take care of business like it used to be.
Doing the right thing isn't always legal.......unfortunately.
but I can't think of a situation where running into a commercial parking lot and firing at a shoplifter's vehicle as he drives off is a good idea.
If he's yelling Aloha Snackbar?
The Elkhart Truth said:When the suspects entered a vehicle, the shopper drew a handgun and fired one shot at them, police say.
