Teen lands job after cop buys him the clothes he allegedly tried to steal for a job interview

A teenager who wore the shirt and tie that a Toronto cop bought for him after he allegedly attempted to steal them for a job interview has been hired.
Const. Niran Jeyanesan thought he was responding to a routine shoplifting call on Aug. 6 at a Walmart in the city’s north end. The 18-year-old who had allegedly attempted to make off with some clothes had picked out a long-sleeved shirt, a tie and a pair of socks. He told the officers they were meant for a job interview.
Jeyanesan said the teen told him he didn’t have the clothes he thought would land the “service industry position” he had applied for. He said his father had fallen ill and he wanted to help provide.
“He was very remorseful, very ashamed,” Jeyanesan said of the teen at the time. “I could see that this is truly a mistake and this person wanted a chance at life.”
Jeyanesan decided to purchase the shirt and tie for the teenager, who left the police station without charges following questioning. He also referred the teenager’s father to a job.
Police spokesperson Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said the teenager called Jeyanesan, who gave the teen his number, and let him know that the outfit worked — he landed the position and starts work on Monday.
“There was already a sense of pride and admiration that I had toward the officer’s actions to begin with,” Douglas-Cook said. “(It) just added to it that much more when I heard the end result of how his actions have paid off thus far.”

that's a heartbreaking story, the next time I see someone shoplifting from my store I will think twice before stopping them, what if they're really a good person who really needs what they're stealing but can't afford it?

Maybe it would be nice if as a country we could decide that our teenagers shouldn't have to go without clothes they can wear to work and more generally children shouldn't have to suffer lack of a level playing field because they have shitty parents, since free market has apparently not solved this problem. It seems not just a reasonable investment but something that can make a strong impact in quality of life for the people who need it most.

You dirty commie, we don't have a free market. In all likelyhood, you stupid commie, this kid's poverty was ensured by the welfare state, you stupid commie.

This is pathetic, it's like the muslim clerics in pakistan that blame all the country's problems on not being islamic fundamentalist enough.
Legislating with the expectation of our problems being solved once we've obtained utopian perfection never ever works.
If your ideology can't be counted on to produce incremental improvements in peoples' quality of life on the basis of individual policies, singular pieces of legislation, then it's useless. In fact it's probably actively destructive.

That's nice. Maybe he'll pay the cop back now that he got a job?

I would make sure to see what they were stealing first. If it were the same as the story or similar, then perhaps. But if it's like a sweatshirt, a watch, and two pairs of jordans, don't hesitate to call them out.
