But the manager of Yemen Deli, on Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Brooklyn, also said $2,650 in rent money was taken from a cigar box hidden on a store shelf, the official said. He originally thought a worker might have stolen but security camera footage appeared to show the detective taking the money and putting it in his pocket, Mr. Davis said.
So stealing the register cash was legit but stealing the rent money warrants an investigation. What's the difference you might ask? Well the register money went to the political scum slush fund and the rent went right into a crooked cop's pocket. From a citizens point of view that would be no difference at all.
Stop stealing. The government hates competition.
It legit when the stealing is for the government.
