Yeah, given how Dean doesn't even mention Sam - there's no way that Dean would ever tell the cops the reason he was stealing. Probably any mention of that, or the fact that his younger brother is also being left to his own devices, would bring down CPS faster than the bruises on his arm would.
And I agree about the cop. I didn't say it in the review, but he does do what's best for Dean. John apparently said Dean could rot in jail, which is fine and probably what a lot of parents with troublemaker kids do occasionally to teach them a lesson - but the cop, like Sonny, seems to recognize that despite the black-eye, Dean was stealing basic food, and probably doesn't deserve to be sent to the jail while he waits for his arraignment.
