Yep - not u common in my shitass city these days for a couple cops to be posted at the doors of safeway, walmart, etc. full time. Me getting mugged by 5 tweakers in broad daylight? 8 hour response time. Homeless dude stealing bread to survive? Immediately arrested.
Meanwhile the police force complains that they need more money because they don’t have enough resources to do their jobs… full 1/3rd of our civic budget already. Totally fucking useless, unless you’re a big brand.
I know they’re paid for by Walmart/whoever, but they should get actual private security that doesn’t cost the taxpayer 300 grand to train and prepare for service. The police force can stop complaining about being understaffed too when they’re playing rentacop.
Congrats officer you caught a guy stealing 2 loaves of bread and a $10 rotisserie chicken. Mind going to arrest the guy who committed an assault 2 blocks away just now?
