University of Wisconsin Director: Police Use Our “Stealing” as Excuse To “Arrest Us”… (http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/08/24/university-of-wisconsin-director-police-use-our-stealing-as-excuse-to-arrest-us/) Posted on August 24, 2015 (http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/08/24/university-of-wisconsin-director-police-use-our-stealing-as-excuse-to-arrest-us/) by sundance (http://theconservativetreehouse.com/author/sundancecracker/)
Jaw dropping, then again, maybe not-so-much. This is a continuation of a several year effort (Black Lives Matter) to claim the police are to blame for their efforts to stop unlawful behavior. [Watch the video]
(Via MRCTV (http://www.mrctv.org/blog/wisc-director-community-relations-suggests-shoplifting-not-crime#.cdcckj:Fe3e)) Everett D. Mitchell is the Director of Community Relations at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also an attorney, pastor, and community leader.

At a recent panel discussing “Best Policing Practices,” Mitchell said that police should stop prosecuting individuals who shoplift from Wal-Mart and Target.
His reasoning? He simply does not believe that police have any justification to engage in policing practices with thieves who steal from Wal-Mart or Target because they are big box stores with insurance:
“I just don’t think they should be prosecuting cases for people who steal from Wal-Mart. I don’t think that. I don’t think that Target, and all them other places – the big boxes that have insurance – they should be using the people that steal from there as justification to start engaging in aggressive police behavior.” (more (http://www.mrctv.org/blog/wisc-director-community-relations-suggests-shoplifting-not-crime#.cdcckj:Fe3e))
