Adore the sentiment but publicly calling out a violent gang at your place of business like this is almost suicidally ballsy
- Are you old enough to remember when librarians posted signs that their records had not YET been investigated by (I want to say) HLS?
- Just hand out leftover food after closing and you'll have a hundred people who also hate cops watching over your place.
  
  And also do that regardless. Throwing out perfectly good food when people are starving is an especially cruel form of waste.
  
  Urban Outfitters makes their starvation wage employees cut up discontinued products so homeless people can't rummage in the dumpster and wear them
  
  It's people like whomever came up with that that make me wish I believed in hell 🤬
- I could see cops organizing something where they entice a tweaker to rob the place while they stand right outside going "darn, if only we could do something... 😂!"
  
  Still probably better than them getting involved.
  
  For real, what would they do otherwise? Show up super late to the crime scene? Launch and "investigation" that takes months?? Let the investigation fizzle out and result no true resolution or justice??? Let the insurance do the real work????
  
  Give you a URL to fill out a report online and then hang up.
  
  That is them getting involved, by manufacturing a situation that otherwise wouldn't have occurred
- The option is no better .... allowing entitled power mad idiots with guns into your space that if you piss off or upset will threaten you or even start arresting people just because they can.
