That said I'd know if my child had something that did not belong to her.
I was not leaving that store with that doll.

Why the hell didn't the store just send someone out and let Mom know that her child had picked up a doll? Ask for it back...or let Mom pay for it. If Mom had made other purchases, why in the hell would she shop lift a 99-cent doll????

Seems like so many lack common sense and escalate situations that should have been handled differently. What went on in the video, someone could have been badly injured of killed over a 99-cent toy!

There has to be some law against running after someone with a damn gun drawn.
