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.

Petty theft.

Idk. Looks like the cop in question was a black woman. Looks like a double whammy easy reason to nix her.

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

The fact that they thought it was ok to steal in the first place purely because they are a cop.

You're just making shit up now to try to justify using a simple phrase completely wrong.

Maybe he is insinuating a white male cop would have not been arrested and instead just allowed to retire early.

This actually seems like an example of the opposite. Her fellow cops arrested her the same way they would arrest a regular person.

I think this is a good story. Its a rare example of cops doing the right thing instead of covering for their buddies like weve come to expect.

You don't just up and decide to steal a $140 pair of shoes in uniform one day, chances are she's been getting away with minor thefts for awhile now and it just finally caught up to her.

I love that they took her to jail in her own car, lol

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.

Or you could just acknowledge that we generally don't hold people accountable for thoughts that we've assumed they've had, so claiming that somebody must have thought that stealing was okay for them because it justifies his incorrect use of the phrase is probably not the right way to go.

She got fired by the city council. Not by the police department. I'm sure it it was up to the police chief she'd still be around.

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
