Suspected brisket thief dies after shot by Central Texas police at H-E-B

40. I'm not expecting one.

My point is that this is exactly why we have police.
So thieves get arrested for their crimes. If they didn't, we'd always have to worry about people stealing our shit, and we wouldn't be able to do anything else.
Also, grocery stores would have to introduce new rules like "From now on, only 5 people will be allowed in the store at a time. Also, we're quadrupling prices to pay for what we lose because we don't have the cops to protect our stuff any more."
This isn't Trayvon Martin. This isn't Michael Brown. This isn't an innocent person in the wrong place at the wrong time. This isn't even Eric Garner, a person violated a stupid, petty law, and paid with his life. This is a guy that goes into a grocery store, is caught stealing, violently resists arrest, and is killed for his crime. It's a story as old as the Code of Hammurabi. He'd be alive if he had paid for that brisket. Or if he just put it down and let the cops arrest him, and went to trial, the same thing that happens to thousands of Texans every week.
