A Mississippi cop was arrested by her colleagues for allegedly shoplifting sneakers while on duty and in uniform getting taken into custody in her own squad car.
Now-fired Columbus Officer Robin Conner, 33, was busted Wednesday at a Dicks Sporting Goods when an employee stopped her walking out in a $140 pair of tennis shoes, her police chief, Joseph Daughtry, told the Columbus Dispatch.
Were putting her in jail, said the chief, who was among those who responded to arrest his own uniform-clad officer.
Its embarrassing for the department, but were going to treat her like we would anybody else.
Daughtry said a store employee caught Conner trying to steal the shoes, and detained her before calling 911.
Told the officer was in uniform, dispatchers called a supervisor at Conners own precinct with Chief Daughtry and his assistant chief responding along with the officers captain.
Conners colleagues then arrested her and brought her to the Lowndes County Adult Detention Center in her own patrol car, according to WTVA.
Conner was immediately placed on administrative leave, but the Columbus city council voted unanimously Thursday to fire her, after two years on the force, WTVA reports.
She is also charged with misdemeanor shoplifting for stealing goods worth less than $1,000 and was given an $862 surety bond, according to WCBI.
So that's what it takes to get a cop fired.Idk. Looks like the cop in question was a black woman. Looks like a double whammy easy reason to nix her.
Petty theft.
Cops being cops, rules for thee, etc etc
Daughtry said a store employee caught Conner trying to steal the shoes, and detained her before calling 911.That sounds like a good way to get murdered.
Im sure her department wouldve defended her a lot more if she killed someone, but you know how they feel about protecting property.This is the better version of my post.
How does "rules for thee" apply in a topic where we're specifically talking about a cop being arrested for shoplifting while in uniform?

People aren't supposed to steal. Cops enforce that rule (in theory). Cop decides to steal anyway. Ergo, "rules for thee". Not that hard
Except she's been arrested for shoplifting. The rules are literally being applied to her too.
Cops being cops, rules for thee, etc etcShe was literally arrested and immediately fired lol

No shit. I'm saying in HER mind and via her actions it was "rules for thee". Cops thinking they can do wtfever they want even though they know it's wrong. I'm glad it got arrested and hope it does time and it's life is ruined like they ruin other people's lives

You're just making shit up now to try to justify using a simple phrase completely wrong.
That sounds like a good way to get murdered.
Jesus christ. Whatever you say guy, not in the mood to argue this very simple concept further have a good oneYou just let your anti-cop lizard brain take over and you made a stupid post. Happens to us all. Own it and move on.

Cops being cops, rules for thee, etc etcThey arrested her almost immediately. This is kleptomania, not the systemic oppression you so badly crave irtto be
Im sure her department wouldve defended her a lot more if she killed someone, but you know how they feel about protecting property.Im pretty sure it was because shes black.

I wish I had a pic of Red Foreman on my phone saying his favorite 7 letter word for this. This guy is an idiot.
I got it from the beginning.
Every rational person should be anti-cop.Problem is, there never were that many rational people running around, even in the before-times, when Trump hadn't yet built up his cult of personality disorders.
Its amazing how it was already explained that he meant the cop thought she could get away with anything because shes a cop and people are still tripping over themselves
Yeah all of you being so quick to jump on the attack that you wont think for half a second sure is his fault
Which is why I said that he was just making shit up. If the only way the phrase works is by making assumption about what the person was thinking, with literally no information to back it up, then it's not a good fit.
The fact that people still don't understand that assuming that she must have thought a certain way therefore "rules for thee" applies is where the actual problem is.
Dear God. Her actions are literally "rules for thee" IN ACTION. Its simply astounding how some of you cannot wrap your heads around that. Whether se literally thought that or not, her ACTIONS imply she does not think the rules apply to her
