Review of Independence Police Department

I have to say that I am very disappointed in this ...

I have to say that I am very disappointed in this department. I was just accused of stealing from a grocery store by one of your officers on duty at a Hy-vee. He stopped me going out the door, and asked me to show him the merchandise that I was carrying around. First off, I wasn't carrying any around. Second, the merchandise he said he saw me with, I NEVER even touched. I told him several times I didn't touch any pastries, and he kept repeating, "Where did you put them?" I finally emptied all of my pockets in my jacket, removed my jacket and lifted my shirt and pant legs. He then let me go, saying that they have high theft there. Okay..... so what?! I have high theft at my store that I manage, but I don't treat people like they stole just because they left without buying things they looked at. Which is sad. Because this department acts like it's an inconvenience when we call them for theft! How embarrassing this was!
