Apparently the local PD is ignorant of history.
>>The caller specifically stated that there were shoppers in the store. Officer Tyler Demott responded and found that Hermes and another employee were holding a Facebook Live sale from inside the store, according to the press release. There were no customers within the store.
It should be simple enough to playback the Facebook live stream and see if any customers are in the footage.
Perhaps the caller spotted the owner and an employee in the store and figured one was a customer.
I know of stores that are shut down even now that they CAN open at 25% or 50% capacity. Then and now they have had employees in store to price merchandise, move inventory, answer the phone, etc.
The local PD is ignorant of local history. That area of New Jersey had a lot of activity during the Revolutionary War. And it appears that State Party Secretary Phil Murphy is looking to outdo King George III.
But he is sympathetic, so there is that.
