Officer injured while trying to confront a shoplifter

        Just before 9pm last night, police officers were called to Target on Bustleton ave where there was a man suspected of shoplifting. Once the suspect saw the officers he ran and about two blocks later two officers confronted the suspect. Somehow, the officers say that the suspect grabbed a weapon and hit one officer across the head. This officer ultimately suffered a serious eye injury and was carried on a stretcher to Einstein Medical Center. It was then other officers arrived to help and after tasering the suspect twice they were able to control the man. It is incidents like this that make people understand why police react the way they do in situations. Not only was this man out of line for assaulting an officer but you did it because you stole from TARGET. People are so stupid, like seriously this man is now in jail because he chose to steal from target. If anything, people need to relaize that if you must steal make sure it is from a high priced store not no Target or Walmart. I swear I don't understand what goes on in people mind's sometimes. I hope this is a lesson to us all.
