Somebody has to pay for that. Yeah, yeah. I would be infuriated if I was a owner of a store in one of those cities.

I feel so sorry for people, for law enforcement officers in those areas. Because, you know, God forbid, I had this conversation. Those guys, their job is to escape by any means necessary. They're very brave and they're bold. They have no respect. They're broad daylight smashing glass, grabbing thousands of dollars of merchandise and then leaving. We show up, what are we supposed to do?

Ask them nicely? No, we have to chase them. We have to go hands on with them. And if they fight us and we have to use force, now the mayor or the governor, God forbid, or the police chief, they're gonna say, why didn't you let them go? Is that a hill you want to die on? Yeah, it is. Because you know what? I was hired to enforce the law, not different laws that you want me to enforce.

I was hired and took an oath to do my duty and to protect the laws and to protect innocent folks who are trying to make a living. Yes, did they physically harm anybody? No, but that store owner has to come out of pocket for that. You know, that hurts that family. That hurts the employees' families. They're not going to get paid. Maybe they get laid off because of it. Maybe the store shuts down.

It has a domino effect. Yes, they didn't hurt nobody physically, but somebody has to deal with that. How about the PTSD they just caused those people inside of there? They thought that they could have died. I mean, they're getting robbed. Our job as law enforcement officers is absolutely, I'm going to chase you down and you're going to jail. But unfortunately, those cops, this is their career too.

This is how they feed their family. A lot of cops are not going to go, if they don't have the backing, man, they're going to sit there and watch it happen.
