Is it me or are Webster's officers more interested in arresting shoplifters than solving real crimes?
I'm not saying stealing is right by any means but it seems as though their press releases contain more shoplifting than anything else.

9 years old. getting younger. Released to the guardians who really don't care. If they cared they wouldn't have been at the mall with out the parents. The juv system will notify the arresting officer wishing no further action. 5 years later, im sure these will have a longer criminal record.

I like how in the first release SPD says they responded to an assault on Spring Ave when in fact it is a strong armed robbery. 3 black males beat down the, probably, white guy and stole his cell phone.

When it was called in it was called as an assault..they didn't know at the time the guy was robbed! And that's what the press release says!

Ah come on, strong armed robbery? If that's the case I'm sure the stole more than his cell phone. Probably drugs that he would fess up to having on him. Three guys to steal a cell phone just doesn't make sense.

I've handled robberies before in which the dirtbags only stole a phone. It started because the suspects just wanted to beat up the lone white boy and after they beat him up they took what he had which was only a phone. BTW, the vic in this case was a clean cut school kid with no contacts with the police.
