A trio of police officers paid for an accused shoplifter’s groceries rather than arresting her at a New York City Whole Foods.
Shopper Paul Bozymowski tweeted that the woman was being held by store security at the Union Square Whole Foods on Thursday after she was caught with food in her bag that she hadn’t paid for.
A photo in Bozymowski’s tweet shows the woman crying as three police officers pay for her food.
Chief of Department Terence Monahan tweeted that the officers are among the “kind-hearted cops who quietly do good deeds for New Yorkers in need.”
Bozymowski is a filmmaker who has directed documentaries, music videos and commercials.

In a few days or whatever she’ll be out there protesting against cops for whatever…..
To galicianer: your speculation is unfounded and nasty, if not actually cruel and stupid. Chesed is a mitzvah for gentiles and Jews alike (I am guessing that if all the cops were Jewish, YWN would have reported that).
I don’t know whether the shoplifter took that food out of greed or desperation, but I bet the chesed the cops showed her will do more to discourage her from shoplifting than anything else our law enforcement system could do.
