3. The part I don't get is that no one in the store called 911.

I know that I would have been on the phone with the police the minute the clerk went after the teenager with a gun.

Maybe it could have something to do with the bad will the police have in many of the communities they are suppose to protect and that people don't trust them.

Pity, poor kid.
