So was it worth her potentially shooting your husband? And do you realize your dumbass husband stole from her? Two wrongs don't make it a right, you moron.

So you and spouse are proud of being thieves but very angry at other people for being thieves.... ok then.

I'm sorry, were you trying to paint yourself as being on the moral high ground here? Just because she did something illegal and wrong, doesn't mean that you get a free pass on taking her stuff. Technically since she dropped the knapsack she can't prosecute you, but seriously. Didn't your mother ever teach you that two…

Very sad, but what really brings me up short is this; that shoplifting is"..probably something most people have done in their lives".

I don't disagree. This never had to happen, and it should not have happened. I'm not saying the guy did the right thing. But, I don't think people really understand the position police officers are put in. Yes, there are some assholes in the profession. But there are a lot of good people too, and they are regularly…

This is very sad and a tragic loss over something so trivial, but I just want to point out a few things here that MAYBE will help others understand the position the off-duty police officer MIGHT have been in.

No, she was shot for running away from, then trying to run over a police officer.
