They are not permitted to do their job. Orders are, "Stand Down." So, they are left helpless to do anything. The criminals know it too, which is why he simply came after her like he did, knowing they are not permitted to ACT. Notice, he wasn't even assertive in his approach.

But if that wasn’t bad enough, one of the officers literally ran away and left her partner in the store by herself.

This has happened before with female cops.

The working- and middle-class people of New York have had to remain in place to face the COVID virus Undermine Orange Man’s Economy

It’s seen as the “oppressed” waltzing in and taking what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.” Obviously Whites are called the oppressors no matter what they do or don’t do, and “people of color” are the oppressed, even those who own a store and actually work for a living.

The cops have been told to allow it.

The exodus from NYC will be epic. It will be a playground for the rich and the poor slobs that service them. The middle class will be wiped out.

If they lose the financial sector, all bets are off. If people no longer feel safe, they will be gone.

Any business owner who remains in these lawless liberal enclaves is foolish.

Let’s not jump to conclusions. May the female cop who ran had a broken radio, and was going for help. George Costanza once found himself in a similar situation.

“....And he is not far from the truth as one video that surfaced shows NYPD cops stand down as looters ransack the store one of them even runs away....”
**************************************************
WTF? I looked at the video (only once so maybe I missed something) and there were NO LOOTERS. There was a single armed (Knife) robber and two cops. The one female cop had drawn down on the robber but he simply ignored her. I think the Left is achieving its goal of successfully instilling so much fear (of lawsuits & charges of excessive force) in our LEOs that they are becoming fearful of opposing criminals that don’t willingly submit.

Well, they willfully and knowingly sought the job in a beyond corrupt, evil, communist government and swore to enforce said government’s diktats.

I’d like to see the names of some of the candidates the New York Sergeants Benevolent Association has endorsed over the years.

You have most black people that hate them and most white people that second guess their every move. No good deed goes unpunished - runaway.

Not a good time to be a cop.

Is it time for the effected business owners to protest their taxes? Since the police did nothing to prevent looting, the business owners have lost their ability to pay taxes. Tell the government that allowing my source of income to be destroyed means there is no money for taxes. Government has broken the implied contract of protection, therefore good bye to government revenue.

After all, you can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip.

Imagine if some wit got a long 4x4 and descended a few disguised mannequins wearing black hoods from it with nooses. “Looter” signs on them in the old style. Take plenty of pictures for posterity, mostly so nobody can pretend they were real. Hell, put a “mannequin art project” watermark on them.

Of course the police would be called there lickity split, but if a few higher ranking cops knew about it ahead of time, they could probably delay the response time a bit.

The point is to send a message both to the looters and the worthless city government that the public are losing patience with them, and without the police both groups would be in a lot of trouble.
