That is the dumbest thing ever. Let’s tell the bad guys that you won’t respond. That should work out well. Even if true that you are under staffed, you don’t broadcast it. Freaking idiot.

That's one way to lower crime statistics. Don't arrest anyone. Just like Obama had the Florida Schools do. Worked out well for the 17 dead kids, didn't it ?

In order to avoid offending the individuals involved in this activity, the crime of shoplifting will now be known as an “undocumented purchase.”

Sounds like the start of a Charles Bronson movie. Or maybe "Goodfellas"?

Who will step in and "protect" these merchants?

All that can take up to an hour and a half to complete. The chief believes that time can be better spent by having those officers handle serious crimes, from burglaries to carjackings.

Translation:
Arresting Shoplifters is very costly, they have NO money to pay any fines. I can send 1 officer out and in 1 1/2 hours he can write 4 Speeding Tickets and bring in over $2500 to my City, why in hell would I waste precious resources on a bunch of thugs with No Visible Means of PAYING???

Ok, so the police won’t respond now to calls of shoplifting. Maybe they can also not respond to “minor injuries” to people who get caught shoplifting.

My grandad used to tell me that cops would arrest guys for stealing hubcaps off cars.

I bet they would respond if the merchants start shooting shoplifters.

Didn’t learn a damn thing from Florida. I’d hate to be a merchant down there now.

The storeowners should just brand a big “T” for thief on the wrongdoer’s forehead, if the police don’t show up.
