Louis Vuitton store looted by 12 or more suspect smashed windows and emptied the store in minutes. Police were able to stop one car, but others got away.
Another video shows stream of handbag thieves sprinting out of San Francisco Neiman Marcus. Stores closing early like CVS no longer open past 7pm nation wide. City leaders are upset giving the police department a week to come up with a solution.
When you decriminalize theft, and everyone is wearing masks difficult to identify anyone on video used to be illegal to wear masks in some states. Business's have been complaining liberal city leaders blame it on poverty and high homeless population. I suspect these are not homeless more then likely they are gangs, and criminal enterprises.
If you catch the thieves and harm one during the arrest you run the risk of starting riots that will damage large swaths of the cities and ruining your life.
If you catch the thieves they are likely to get slaps on the wrist and not be deterred from future crimes.
The risk reward should lean towards not doing much of anything to stop the thieves if you are a cop.
The only question is if they will get a thousand bucks a month for not killing anyone.
Also aren't they allowed to steal there? Up to 900.00 or something like that. I don't think anyone is at the door making sure they didn't go above the limit. lol
The looters are going to loot. This administration is why this type stuff happens. They encourage it and dems states allow it and call it peaceful protesting. If they don't want to arrest people then enjoy your crime and fires and everything else. The left have gone mad. They have all lost their minds.

Yes in California $950-per-thief misdemeanor limit since it's not a felony police don't bother with investigating. Newsom signed a new law making shoplifting a felony if the person was part of organized crime group that would require lot of investigating to figure that out likely it will have little effect.

I'm guessing this would exceed that limit so I'm not sure what the point is here. I disagree with decriminalizing petty theft but that isn't applicable with respect to this Louis Vuitton theft.

I tried to google Louis Vuitton cost vs. purchase price, and couldn't find it. It CERTAINLY seems like they have at least 500% mark up. There is no reason to charge the price they do for comparable leather goods, that you can source elsewhere for very little cost.
So maybe the management at Louis Vuitton figures, sit there and watch the merchandise leave the room by theft, if you get a few paying customers here and there, you'll still make an outrageous profit?
