The corporate surveillance police state will continue until the proles stop stealing the treats.
I'm not convinced this is actually happening enough to close stores
if anything nobody really even shops at CVS or Best But (esp Best Buy) from what I've seen

They were going to close anyway, :citations-needed: covered this in May .
They're trying to get in on Walmart's game and force the government to provide military members or pressure local PDs into acting as free store security.
It's definitely happening to Best Buy where I live. Like if you are going to go into Best Buy, it should probably be to steal shit.
It's bullshit because the overall numbers haven't really had a noticeable increase. It's just that these companies are big mad because these are planned out thefts involving 10-15 individuals at any given time, and nobody can really do shit because the employees sure as fuck aren't going to put their bodies in harm's way, and there's rarely any security.
The solution for these stores seems to be a limited amount of people in the store at an given time, and you need to show yourself fully before entering. But that's not good for sales, is it? So something more drastic needs to be done.
I wonder why crimes happens and why does the state always have capital to protect property?
Theft of $719,548 per $1 billion dollars in sales is 0.07%. Or 7 cents out of every $100 lmao.
First they invent a labor shortage now they're inventing a crimewave. They're going to milk everything they can out of the pandemic to make sure they get richer and make our lives worse.
Mentioning both that they have "the willingness to use firearms" and that "theft under $950 in California is a misdemeanor" is some real :citations-needed: bullshit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the people organizing those raids ARE cops, or that cops are letting them happen.
