CAUTION: Video shows car hitting a man being chased by police. We chose not to chose not to show that part of the video on the show today, but in this CBC article you can see a man trying to outrun police, and it appears accidentally being hit by one of the chasing vehicles. Internal Investigations Unit, Manitoba’s police watchdog, is investigating how this man’s arm was broken during the chase. Again, we caution the video is graphic and may be disturbing.
Still with law and order, the conversation never stops regarding self checkouts! Sept 24 police got a call of a woman scanning low value items, while putting higher value items into her bag at the self-check at a Brandon store. Security footage appeared to show it again Sept 12 & 18, so police arrested the 32yr old female at her home and was released to appear in court Nov 20 on charges of fraud under $5K x3. But people are torn. They’re desperate. And there is a real hate on for many businesses who shoppers feel, are taking advantage of them. This leaves many feeling theft is justified. Theft is a crime and we have to remember there are many small businesses owned by members of OUR community, that are hurt by acts like this.
Target says it will close nine stores in major US cities, because of violence and theft.
