🚨 New bodycam footage shows a 16-year-old deli worker at Meijer reportedly disabled, ARRESTED over $110 in fruit cups and chicken taken across three months just to get through his shifts. A $15 BILLION corporation didn’t show compassion. They built a case. They dragged a hungry kid out in cuffs. Instead of a write up, or intervention, they built a case up to 110 dollars to prosecute. This isn’t organized crime. It isn’t theft on a grand scale. It’s a teenager eating at work. And their answer was humiliation, handcuffs, and destruction of his future. What America sees in that footage isn’t justice. It’s corporate cruelty at its worst. And now people are calling for a boycott against Meijer.
