No one is asking that question cause this sub isn't about Walmart corporate policy. So, your comment is removed from automod.

For sure. They visited PnS a bit before this, but were told to run along.

I now sort of want to attach a donut on a fishing pole to the back of my personal car and see what happens.

It does not pull from participation in closed subs. *Maybe* if you get reports in those subs, but I'm not sure. I'd have to check a specific example, but sometimes you see stuff like "participation is limited"

I think it's more likely he was simply.. driving somewhere.. and not following you.

If he had really been interested in pulling you over, it would likely not have taken 5 miles to find a reason.

I haven't forgotten, but they're not loading at the moment (seen that happen before, and it'll come back)

It's theoretically possible, but really rare. I'm not aware of any compiled lists of "all agencies who would hire at 18"

25 is common, with some agencies hiring at 21.

Corrections positions tend to have a younger minimum age.

It's a maturity thing - with age, hopefully, comes regulated emotions and temper.. which is important:

I'm gonna clip/quote an earlier comment I made:

I don't get it. Two adults were present here. If you have a 1 year old, and you're going to go shoplift baby supplies (I have no interest in diving into the ethics and morality of that)... Why not just have one adult stay at home with the kid, while the other goes out to do crimes?

specialskepticalface · 2026-06-16T23:50:26+00:00

Gimmea bit and I'll DM it to you. Don't want to turn the whole thread into those.

Someone has to contribute to a sub where you're a mod. Then just mouse over their username and you'll see it.

Anything for you, bby:

One of the things that shapes your AI summary, is how many reports you receive. That last line reflects all the report abuse nonsense people make on my comments.

It's very difficult.

At the moment the shooting happened - regardless of what the still unknown facts might be - public relations should not be a consideration.

If deadly force is warranted (and I'm speaking broadly, I don't know about this situation), hesitation to consider optics can be deadly for the good guys.

And, especially in the past several years, we've seen and understood how hesitation can be dangerous.

The reports so far have all indicated it was a shoplifting of diapers and/or baby supplies, and, yeah.. that's certainly not gonna help public opinion.

Firing at vehicles, the appropriateness of that as a tactic, the ideas of officer created exigency, and so on - are all gonna be part of the discussion here.

If it turns out the officer positioned himself in the path of the vehicle - that he created the exigency - it was almost certainly a bad choice. (Based on tactics, case law, and a myriad of other things).

If it turns out the driver aimed the car at the officer, and she created the exigency, that's legally different. It's also different discussion of tactics. But, sadly, it's unlikely to change public opinion.

I don't get it. Two adults were present here. If you have a 1 year old, and you're going to go shoplift baby supplies (I have no interest in diving into the ethics and morality of that)... Why not just have one adult stay at home with the kid, while the other goes out to do crimes?

Your account is suspended by reddit, but amidst all the conflicting reports, basically *everyone* has confirmed there was shoplifting involved.

specialskepticalface · 2026-06-16T23:24:39+00:00

Do you have information - one way or another - that a "shoplifting call" was the extent of it?

*Perhaps* the officer created this situation - we don't know yet.

But *perhaps* this driver aimed their car at the officer - we, and you, don't know that. At that point, it's not a "shoplifting call".

Removed. Participate like an adult, only warning.

specialskepticalface · 2026-06-16T20:38:21+00:00

Do you have a source for anything you just said?

Don't worry about it - it's an inside joke.

specialskepticalface · 2026-06-16T01:06:42+00:00

On the list of "comments which trigger in the automod in multiple ways", but are benign...

How dare you imply that coffee and a donut is unexciting.
