It is frustrating to see a trend of public tax-funded police doing less (especially in cities), while organizations that can afford to are hiring the same officers 'off-duty' or creating their own forces
Doesn't seem optimal or sustainable
- Incipient 3y agoAlso doesn't seem transparent, or consistent, or accountable. Just seems like a bad idea. Companies should have security teams, not police.

There has been a history of bad apples, and now everything is scrutinized. Can't pull someone over anymore without it being plastered all over the news where everybody picks every frame apart.
