Bank robberies are up 50% this year, and the NYPD says it's the banks' fault, the Daily News has learned.Yeah, it's the rape victim's fault.
But in a way, if you think about it, they have a point.
Then again, any private citizen taking the only proven steps to send predators howling into the darkness would quickly find out about the difference between "Only Ones" and the rest of us.

I delivered money to banks as an armored truck courier for a few years. Let me tell you, Kragen Auto Parts does more to deter theft, such as greeting people and acknowledging their presence. I'd walk in with my 1911 in hand, huge empty canvass bag and no one even noticed me.. duuuuuh. Or I'd stand there with a quarter mill and instead of being IMMEDIATELY buzzed into the back, they'd say "Oh we'll be right with you, I have to put paper in the adding machine". Complete idiots who have completely resigned security to fate, as per the recipe of "the only ones" very sad.
ReplyDeleteTo protect money the police recommend armed guards.
ReplyDeleteTo protect yourself, the police insist that you be unarmed.
Money vs. people.
hmmmm.
"and have hired off-duty uniformed NYPD officers for many of their locations. "
ReplyDeleteThis is what it is all about, a part time job scheme for NYC's laziest. Cops should not be allowed to use their uniforms for off duty assignments, nor should they have any LEO authority when they are off duty.
