First point, you have to be kidding. We can post a photo of the thief even though he is guilty because he is black? And we can’t do this because it just further reinforces a sad truth in this town?

You sound like that citizen association that criticized the location of the upcoming Walmart because there were so many black youths living nearby and I quote “wouldn’t be able to stop themselves from shoplifting” and so the location should be moved so more young black men in town don’t end up in jail.

Second point is they have the thief on a down pointed camera elsewhere in the store stuffing it into his bag. Because it was at a vantage point that didn’t show his face, they used another camera shot.

And I finish up with again…you have to be kidding?

I would guess that if they had a picture… they also probably have video of the actual stealing. Let’s hope at least…

As far as stereotypes go… I would also assume that if a white/hispanic/asian/etc… person was caught stealing the store would have posted a picture of that person. Asking the store to make judgement calls about which thieves to expose isn’t justified. A thief is a thief, plain and simple.

So with this logic we should not seek out an asian who commited a hit and run? Or an irishman with a public intox…I can go on. Black people steal sometimes, as do every other creed and color.

Your logic is garbage.

Thief is a thief. No matter the color.
Neve, you should be upset with the theif for perpetuating stereotypes not Pop.
