Hear me out please. Some are worried cops are standing down and violence will soar. Not so.
- Look, when you’re down on your luck, sometimes people steal. Especially from CORPORATIONS who just write it off. Seriously, shoplifting should be like a parking ticket not an actual arrest. Without fear of police response, these people
Who take stuff wont feel the need to be armed or violent
- Drug violence? It happens. But if taking Petty property from stores doesnt carry such a bad consequence, fewer will NEED to sell drugs to get $ for the things they need
Insurance companies will pay out more for theft to WalMart, grocery stores, etc etc.
But I think a police standdown will actually decrease violence
