Yes, I think we now know scarecrow policing does not work. Plus pro-crime Lori and her brain trust have put in place policies that stop the Cops from chasing perpetrators. Downtown merchants, wait until the Democrat promoted SAFE -T act goes live on Jan 1. (Btw, that act will disproportionately hurt black folks, who will be the majority of victims. So dumb. You can’t make this stuff up.)
