He will probably be sued by the crook, for using excessive violence.

He was a black man wearing a hoodie. How could the store owner be sure he was not there to purchase Skittles?

Years ago my little sis worked at a convenience store here in the hood. Some idiot tried to rob the store, she grabbed the guy by the head and smashed his face into the lotto tickets while her workmate swept his feet out from under him. She stood on his back and head until cops showed up.

I'll have to ask if she still has the CCTV footage, I wouldn't mind watching it again.

Couple idiots decided to rob a store, screwed it up, and someone called the fire dept.? lmao

Kidding, someone probably hit the fire alarm cuz they had no "police alarm".

At first, when I watched the CCTV footage, I thought that the kid was some Caucasian punk, but after really looking at the footage, it's clear that the guy is a White-Hispanic... I'm pretty sure that I saw a gun too

The FD was across the street doing some kind of inspection

Oh. Well, there ya go.
Odd, though. We didn't wear our turnout just for inspections.
