You have to push a button, and maybe, if you're lucky, a clerk comes by 5 minutes later to unlock it for you. Or they don't and you just stand around like an idiot. Basically renders the place useless.

And yet I bet you just couldn’t come to vote for the left leaning Ward 3 Republican in the last election, could you? The horror of the thought of 1 out of 13 council members being an independent voice was just too triggering. Now we’re stuck with lame duck Frumin who cruises around the Ward on his bike like some Bon vivant looking for a fresh baguette. While the city is cratering and his ward becoming a crime zone his most recent piece of legislation was to declare May “Old People are Cool Month.” We’re all doomed this summer once it heats up and I fully expect that the mayor will call out the national guard which is why the Chief left when he did.

Still 1,000x better than having a republican on the council.

It's not about the stuff that's being stolen. It's about the peace of mind of the shoppers. The people who are shopping there and witness an act of bulk theft have talked about how shaken they are by it. They want the CVS staff to intervene to protect the shoppers!

Not exactly something in the CSV associate job responsibility, I'm sure.

Just how exactly does witnessing a poor person taking something they need threaten you?

They aren’t taking it from you - they’re taking from a giant billion dollar corporate retailer. How are you possibly threatened by that?


I’m guessing this is really just about you not liking POC. Because you’re a RACIST.

Does your cavalier approach to law enforcement extend to sexual assault?

Eventually these stores will close - like the Walmart's in DC, and Starbucks which were getting repeatedly robbed.

These aren't people taking "what they need" they are people stealing stuff to resell.

Ghetto fabulous. Friendship heights and spring valley can follow the Baltimore route.

A manager at the Van Ness CVS had his jaw broken during a robbery. He no longer works there. They all get hit pretty regularly.

CVS has free shipping on many orders.

Spring Valley was robbed 3 times in 4 days.

A lot of the stolen goods are sold online, or in some areas, on the sidewalk.

I’m actually a republican and would love for our leaders to crack down on criminals. Get these guys off the street. Of course it’ll never happen around here, sadly.

Anyway - I’m with you.

The stores will close. Insurance does not cover the loss of shoplifting. The stores do not make that much in profits for merchandise to walk out the doors.

OMG, boomers have taken over DCUM. Who even reads next door that is under the age of 65?

Most POCs have no tolerance for crime. They understand that it hurts their communities because they are often victims and because they want quality retail in their neighborhoods. It's actually racist of you to want to excuse crime by POCs. Most POCs want nothing to do with that behavior and would view the concept that POCs should be exempt from abiding by laws to be a racist concept.

It doesn’t matter who Ward 3 elected. The police across the country have pretty much given up on doing their jobs, in spite of higher budgets & all the overtime they want.

If they can’t crack skulls without consequences, they don’t want to do the work.

Not sure how you change the culture of policing in America. It definitely needs a reboot. These criminals do what they do because they know the cops won’t lift a finger.

Police need to have the latitude to pursue and detain criminals without fearing for their livelihood. Lawmakers need to toughen the laws to better disincentive theft, property crime, and violent crime. DAs need to do their jobs and prosecute the criminals.

There is a significant distinction between robbery, which involves the actual use or threatened use of force, and theft.

If what is happening here is large scale repeated theft, that creates potential danger, particularly if the theft progresses to actual robbery.

If what is happening here actually is robbery, the NYPD developed a highly effective solution decades ago: put “stakeout squads” in likely target businesses, prepared to engage the robbers in the act and respond with force if required. Unfortunately, the political will to do that seems to have evaporated nowadays.

The political will to allow police to engage in shoot-outs at the CVS has evaporated? Good.
