You guys are ridiculous. He gave them $250 in gift cards for Stop and Shop stores. Receiving that much on gift cards does NOT mean the mother was trying to throw a $250 Christmas Dinner. The Officer obviously have them that much money to help them survive for a little bit.

Officer did a good thing. Shut the fuck up otherwise you are objectively wrong.

fuck off. these 2 entitled criminals deserve to be booked.

Lima took the two suspects aside and learned they had fallen upon hard times and attempted to take additional groceries so they could provide a Christmas dinner for the two children.

CE would find something wrong with this.

The two children with the women reminded me of my kids, so I had to help them out, Officer Lima said.

Well done.

He said the kids reminded him of his kids.

Of course they were.

I'll be that guy. Anyone else thinks the reason the women brought the kids in the first place to the store was to use them as an alibi?

Because in this story, it's the potential precedent that is set for the kids: "I don't have what others have, so I should break the law to have it too". This is different from "I steal because I'm starving" as the latter is for survival, the former is for privilege. This story falls into the former as they were shoplifting extra groceries for a special Christmas dinner, not shoplifting because they needed dinner.

This is why CE is mostly negative to the story.

The article is a bit vague - just says Christmas dinner over and over, so it could have been that they didn't have *any* dinner and this falls on Christmas Eve

The article says "take additional groceries." As in, they were already buying some groceries, and tried to steal extra groceries.

Noble? Kind? Sure.

But why couldn't the woman afford groceries in the first place?

You really think if brown women were doing this, the cop would even care to hear why theyre stealing?

How naive.

I hope Im wrong.

Yes but we don't know if the groceries already purchased included a regular dinner (what Sad Face is arguing)
