Four days ago was the Channel store in Downtown, DC.

| We are NY - police (often 2-3) on every corner up and downtown. Perfectly pleasant, keeping an eye on things. Stores are locked and buzz you in..seems like a nice set up for the good guys, not the bad guys. |
| Hey, poor people need to do yoga too. |
| Equity in progress! |
Luxury brand stores in NYC have restricted access for decades. I've been wondering why more DC businesses haven't started doing this. |
How about we start restricting criminal’s access to places instead of the other way around? That would be a novel idea, huh? |
I have no issue with that, but I also think deterring thieving flashmobs is a good thing. All the stores had security and there were more cops standing out on a block than I've seen in our whole city this year. easy to mount a response with police everywhere. |
| That Lulu store has been hit repeatedly, exact number would come up on MPD crime cards. I feel sorry for the employees. |
| Gunpoint? The thieves should be locked up for a long time, like 20 years. |
| Wealth redistribution. This is what liberals want. |
No place is completely safe, but in NYC it is reassuring that the NYPD are so visible. They aren’t just in their patrol cars, but also a strong presence on sidewalks. |
Oppressing the citizens. |
????? |
They were amazing. Mostly directing traffic and keeping order, but also there in a pinch. Made me feel WAY SAFER as a woman than I have been feeling walking around DC. |
