#20  When twelve cops were shot in Dallas a few years ago by a BLM member the unofficial response time to most calls after that was 8 hours. Some theft caĺls they did not respond at all. Frustrated 911 operators would finally tell callers to fill out a report on line.

#19  "Thank you for calling 911. Due to unusually high call volume, we will not be able to respond to your problem tonight. Please call back tomorrow."

#17  It's rare that 'takers' are 'keepers'.
Loot will be traded for more liquid trade goods.

#16  I doubt any of them have ever filled pone out

#15  Matt - it's income to the thief, all right; somehow I doubt they're filing any tax returns.

#14  ^ Precisely.

#13  Matt, I don't know the answer to your question, but remember that Al Capone went to jail not for murder and the other crimes he committed, but for tax evasion.

#12  Why in hell would ANYONE want to be a police officer these days, especially in a city like New York, Chicago, etc. ? The mayor hates you, the city council hates you (except when you protect them). If you do your job and arrest criminals, but in the process you hurt them, you get ripped to shreds by the press.

#11  ^Sorry, that was me.

#10  Raj, what's the tax treatment of loot? If, for example, you somehow come into possession of a 70" flat screen at no cost, do you owe state and local sales tax, or is it a "gift"? State income tax? No Democratic politician will want to prosecute these folks for theft, but considering how hard-up states and municipalities are or at least claim to be, the taxman might see it differently. :-)

#9  The white "protesters" are considered a joke.

400 of these assholes marched by my house on Wednesday night - every single one of them were college kids / people under 30; about twenty or so black folk among them, mostly loud fat broads.

Nothing says 'improving race relations' like a smash & grab and a free 70" flat screen, AKA the Free Shopping Spree.

#6  I'm the token white guy in my neighborhood. In talking to people a couple of points
1. People don't trust the police, (the 3rd precinct has had a bad reputation for a very long time)
2. They really REALLY don't like the looters/rioters
3. The white "protesters" are considered a joke. And are given pretty much NO Respect

#2  Good on them.

After being told not to arrest looters who are trying to kill them. Told not to arrest leftist attacking Trump supporters. Commanded not to jail Somalians terrorizing resident Americans. Forced to work side by side with Islamic jihadists.

Looks like Clem's "pigs" (his words punk description) don't want to get murdered protecting a city that wants them dead.
