• Title: Thief Runs From Cops #police #cops #caught #crime #funny #fyp #truecrime Now in the grand scheme of things, it’s our opinion that this isn’t exactly a criminal mastermind. Normally, this would not be worthy of even going to jail. However, to be fair and balanced anybody that runs from police should go to jail. If more officers can see the lighter side of the job we believe there would be a reduction in police use of force and complaints. We would never condone laughing at someone else’s expense during a particularly low part of their life, but we don’t believe that’s what’s happening here . They are seeing the levity in the situation and the ridiculousness of the thought process the suspect had. @Ghost Patch @Detective Matt Thornton @Trey Mosley @Mr. Deadleg @AN @policelawnews @Banning
