IT WAS STUPID. BUT I WAS FED UP Note: Please do not do what I did. In all truth, it’s just not worth it. So a few days ago, I went to the store to get stuff for my wife off duty. As I entered I saw this tall, blond. She was tanned with designer sunglasses. You could tell she had a lot work done. She was at the counter asking weird questions to the cashier. It was a strange exchange, that was circular. It was odd. But it felt as if it was a distraction. As I start to walk deeper into the store, I see a well dressed young man with tattoos on his neck and arms. He had a bottle of Hennessy in his hand as he walked from the alcohol section very calmly towards the exit. I heard the cashier yell at the man “I SAW YOU TAKE THAT! YOU GOTTA PAY FOR THAT!” As he walks towards the exit, he laughs stating “I’m sorry ma’am. Don’t worry about it.” She yells for him to put it back again, to which he replied “I’m sorry ma’am. I can’t put it back. Once I’m out the door it’s mine. You know the rules! You can’t do nothing” The blond walked out with him as the alarm went off. They were both laughing. The cashier was demoralized. Seemed like this was a reoccurring theme for her. I just witnessed a theft. Everything in me was trying to resist going after him. “It’s just property. The police won’t even come for this. Why bother? He will just get released in an hour or two. What if you get into an altercation? The DA will file on you before they file on him. The department will burn you. You have a family. It’s just a bottle of booze. Don’t get involved. You’re off. Just be a good witness if the police arrive.” But he was so brazen about it. So cavalier. I kept trying to talk my self down, but I couldn’t help it. It wasn’t about the property. It was the principle. The look of frustration on the cashiers face was affecting me. The customers who were doing it right, who were going to pay for their items with their hard earned money staring angrily at the door as the idiot exited smiling. At this point, it had nothing to do with me being a cop. It had everything to do with me being a fed up, and tired of the lawlessness and hopelessness it causes. I thought of all the stores closing because of folks like this. The jobs lost. My mind, my heart and body were in full agreement. I marched out the door and caught him before he hit the lot. “Bro. Imma need you to put that back. He cursed as he turned to face me, but when he saw my stature, he froze and said. “Come on. You Black. You know how we do!” He was Hispanic. “Walk your ass back into that store and put it back.” I said. He looked as me and said “It’s mine. I walked in with it!” He told so many lies in a span of one minute it was mind numbing. I said “People are sick of this shit bro. You know they have to raise their prices because of the shit you just did. I’m telling you to put it back!” He looked at me and said “Nah. I’m going to my ride and leaving. Do you know who I am? I’m a TikTok star.” He walked over to a red Mercedes, where the blond was sitting in the driver’s seat. I followed him. “Nah, bruh. That ain’t happening.” He stuck his chest out like he was going to do something. But when I stepped toward him he pushed it back in. His lady was nervous. She rolls down the window and says to him. “Mi amore. I’ll hold it.” He gives it to her and smiles stating “I don’t have it no more Sug Knight!” The blond reaches towards me and hand hands me the bottle. She apologized and tells him to get in the car. “Bitch! Why you give him that shit!” He yelled. She said “What if the calls the cops. Let’s get outta here mi amore!” He goes to his trunk. I don’t flinch. I told him he wasn’t going to do shit. And he didn’t. An off duty sheriff deputy came backed me up. I thanked him and walked back into the store. I approached the clerk, and placed it on the counter. The cashier and customers smiled and thanked me. It felt good to give folks hope. The way we should.
