#shoplifting #bodycam #useofforce On July 14, 2022, officers responding to shoplifting reports at a Kroger and a Burlington caught up with a woman outside the grocery store after a foot chase that ended in a tackle. The shoplifting suspect insisted she had stolen nothing, even as clothing with tags was found in her bag and officers reviewed Burlington's surveillance footage. Then the arrest took another turn. While an officer tried to read her Miranda rights over her objections, she went into an apparent seizure. Officers rolled her onto her side, kept her airway open, and called EMS, who reported a similar episode at CVS earlier that same day. This breakdown pauses at five decision points to explain the law behind each moment. Was the tackle a reasonable use of force against a fleeing theft suspect? Can a waiver count if understanding was never confirmed? Does suspicion that a medical emergency is staged change an officer's duty to call for help?
