Coffee Break with Police Experts

This episode is sponsored by Omnigo.

Widespread bedlam centered around the looting of retail stores of everything from shaving cream to high-end luxury handbags has led to the senseless murder of an innocent human being.  

On the day before Thanksgiving, Kevin Nishita—a retired police officer working as an armed security guard who was helping to protect a local television news crew reporting on the dramatic increase in violence associated with organized retail crime—was shot and later died from his injuries.   

🚨 In this video, POLICE Magazine Contributor Doug Wyllie discusses:  

• The dramatic increase in violence associated with organized retail crime. 
• Arguments against calling organized retail crime "looting" (and some alternatives). 
• Results of a survey by the National Retail Federation (NRF) on the topic. 
• What fills the void left by the police who have been litigated out of effectiveness or legislated out of existence—a society looking a lot like a combination of Mad Max and The Purge.
