Yes, it is. Security cannot stop you for bypassing alarms and receipt checks. They have to have definitive proof that you stole something before they can lay a hand on you. Even in membership stores like Costco, the most they can do is cancel your membership. If they do touch you, there are plenty of lawyers who will take your case and only collect payment if you win.

This falls squarely into the genre of "yes, you are technically right, but you may have spent a week in jail and thousands to tens of thousands of dollars of time and money to prove it, for which you will not be fully compensated."
My point is that anyone can walk by and nothing will likely happen, but if it does, there is some recourse, and the unlikely event is just as unlikely regardless of race.
That’s just false. Brown people get shot in malls for much less.

I am pretty sure in most places they can't touch you even if you do steal something.
