Disarm their security? Did he use a weapon or did he just put a good old fashioned whupazz on him?
The truth is this. A certain demographic has so raped stores in its neighborhoods by shoplifting and internal theft they have to have armed security, and often police officers. I know of towns that have them at the library and thrift store.
This is why it is so hard to place and maintain a grocery store in the hood. They bleed it dry.
My town is across a river from Newark NJ, and the residents there have to come here for groceries; it is simply impossible to operate a supermarket in neighborhoods where fast-food workers slide food to you through bulletproof glass and Chinese restaurants, while doing the same, have no seating area at all for customers. It is simply not safe to be in close physical proximity to the kind of people who would subject themselves to the living conditions of our ghettoes, and when they leave the welfare reservation to shop they are met with wariness by people who know what to expect.
A Wal-Mart in my town (thankfully built by a swamp, away from any residential areas) should be required to fund their own police substation; cops are there all the time dealing with Newark residents, and now it will no longer be open 24 hours.
While many neighbors shop a town or two to the north (much “whiter”), I’ll still shop at the local supermarket - at 6 am. Never had a problem, and any Newark residents there at that time are just like me: Getting some shopping done before heading off to work.

Ain’t dat de truf? You know what I be sayin?
And virtually no one who uses the term “food desert” will admit that is the reason they come to exist.
