How does "someone stole a car from our dealership" turn into "armed and dangerous"? 🤔
Cops. If you're an acorn they shoot you, imagine what they think of car thieves.

It's America. Safe to assume you're all armed and dangerous
Well, not safe for those of us who have skin shades darker than mild tan.

It's baffling how the police are not blamed at all in this scenario. First thought going through her head was "he's black, they're gonna kill him". Fucked up country. ACAB
It was bad enough when Hertz was reporting tons of active rental cars as stolen and getting over 100 people arrested: https://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/hertz-lawsuit-arrests-number-unsealed.html
Now we have to worry about Dealership loaners as well?!
Dispatchers should take note and start asking callers if the car is a rental/loaner... or in the case of Hertz, just ignoring their automated software reports entirely.
They should be charging the companies. You can’t just falsely report crimes.
