California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday proposed spending more than $300 million to help law enforcement and small businesses address a recent rash of high-profile smash and grab thefts.
Under the three-year plan, the money would finance a crackdown on organized crime rings, which are believed to be carrying out the crimes....
...Local law enforcement agencies would receive $255 million over the next three years to place more officers in stores to deter theft and another $30 million would go to district attorneys ...

I could do it for less than $300 dollars! Although I Sam not quite sure how much these days for a case of .223 ammo costs...

So instead of smashing and grabbing gangs can show up and just get cash. Brilliant!
Don’t just arrest them but sentence them. If the laws aren’t there to punish then there’s no sense throwing more money at the police. Prosecute them!
“Greeters” are back at my local Walmart here in Florida.
Since California-style lawmaking and crime has a nationwide impact on commerce, I suggest Congress outlaw Proposition 47 and form a FBI task force to deal with the shoplifting gangs.
Brick & mortar retail is a large source of employment that should be protected against criminals.
The California police are afraid to intervene in the robberies because these gangs have serious weaponry.
Perhaps a California armed robbery statute might come into legal play.
Nancy Pelosi only has give the word and Proposition 47 would get federally negated.
Any Republican running against here might consider forcing her hand.
California Proposition 47 might be costing Walmart over $3 million a year in Florida alone in additional security costs.
yay
more armed government agents
Whatever sum of money necessary to remove the prosecutors who will not uphold the law and discharge the miscreants with the crimes they have committed, then VIGOROUSLY prosecute them in a court of law, with the judges, who should also be purged and replaced with magistrates who actually hand down a much more appropriate sentence, and a parole system that monitors conscientiously and closely the release and subsequent behavior of the felons incarcerated for this wave of criminal acts, is how much should be spent. But of course, no such commonly acceptable solution shall ever be offered by the California legislature as it is now constituted, or the governor (the haughty Gruesome Newsom) now in office.
“Don’t just arrest them but sentence them.”
Locking people up in cells is expensive.
I suggest placing heavy arm and leg weights on convicted people for several months.
Larry Lightfingered will be very unhappy about having a 30-pound weight locked around his lower right arm for three months.
Typical liberal and stupid board room moves.. Instead of firing the incompetent and busting heads, throw money at the problem and it will go away.
“...CHARGE the miscreants...”
Proofreading is sometimes not enough.
California prosecutors I believe are subject to recall votes.
Shopkeepers should start gathering signatures.
The shopkeepers should also gather signatures to repeal Proposition 47.
Step two: House the thugs in tents in Death Valley for six months. Let them dine on snakes and scorpios.
“If the laws aren’t there to punish then there’s no sense throwing more money at the police. Prosecute them!”
Why should that happen. If you’ll notice $30M of the new booty is going to the D.A.’s. Why should they stop the crimes they are being paid to discontinue? The cash cow dries up.
You don’t pay people more money to do the job they were hired to do to begin with. If the money was acceptable to begin with, you fire them for not doing the job they were already being paid a proper amount to do. Otherwise, they shouldn’t have taken the job to begin with if it couldn’t be done originally or they weren’t qualified to do it. You don’t increase the money, you abide by the expectations of the job.

Exactly!
Throwing money at the problem alone won't fix it anymore than leaving your trunk open will prevent damage to your car.
No big deal to rob the small-guy stores, the cvs types, big retailers....but touch the elites areas and suddenly it’s a $300,000,000 problem we need to pay to fix.
Organized Crime is dang right. Now that they’ve identified the causes of the crime wave, Antifa, BLiesM and the democrat party, how are they going to spend the cash?
the money would finance a crackdown on organized crime rings, which are believed to be carrying out the crimes....

How does that work when the DAs don’t prosecute and the police are defunded and scorned by the public?
