Sorry, but in many areas, a group of pieces of shit wouldn't be a big priority for local LEO, who no doubt drive past that store a hundred times per night and know the score.
You CERTAINLY wouldn't go home and see a "shakedown" on the "state" news. Police let pieces of shit like this have a little piece of shit area to act like, well, pieces of shit.
True, but it is all about in the manner of how you inform the cops that causes them to check it out.
Notice I said I would inculde the word threat, which is a form of battery and possible crime.
Plus, I would also inform the manager and owner of this store and if nothing was done , go over their head to the corperate office and inform them. Most don't do this and at most , maybe call the cops , once and give up, not me.
I have actually done this before when I lived in the New Orleans area.
This Buger King near where I lived had turned into a real thug hangout and party on weekends.
The local cops ignored it and the managers of the place didn't seem to care.
I contacted the actual Bruger King coprperate office via that 800 number. I ended up getting a call back from some woman who asked me a series of questions about who, what, where, etc.
I was sure to tell her that any family or couple could NOT eat there safely.
A couple weeks later, I noticed their was a private security force , looked like 2 guys from some corperate security detail where they carry firearms. The New Orleans cops ( westbank) ended up comming in and a few got arrested, I guess for tresspass or something.
It has been my actual experience that thugs won't hang for long where they get hassled by the law and local citizens combined in one front, on a steady consistant basis.
