$525k plus a new wave of permissible shoplifting...
You may be right about the fallout from this. I can imagine that based on this news, more aggressive minority shoplifter criminal types will target this place now. They will think that its an easy target because they can claim racism there.
Ask anyone that’s ever worked in loss prevention who the largest group of shoplifters are. Walk into a retail store and follow a Latino group with children around for a while; especially if any of them are carrying backpacks or large coats. You’ll see its whole family affair; children involved too. But lawyers don’t care about truth unless it wiil set their client free.
