More information is coming out about the Phoenix cops and the shoplifting of a doll...

[Captain Stern]

18. We actually do know some of that.

In his report, the officer does say at one point that he was scared somebody might be hiding something or reaching for a weapon.

We also know that, at least according to the incident report, that there was no belief that these people were part of an organized theft ring. Or, if there was, the officer who pulled his gun, and wrote the report, was unaware of it. His report also indicates that he didn't know anything about what the folks at the Dollar Store told the police because he never went there. According to him, all that he knew was that the suspects had left in a red Hyundai Santa Fe.

We also know that no one has been charged with shoplifting.

We also know that the incident report was written weeks before the videos surfaced, and that, at best, the officer who wrote the report lied by omission.

We know all of that without having to rely on news reports.
