you can walk right into target and steal anything, staff aren't allowed to even confront you, they have their own special plainclothes security for that and anyone in red shirt and tan pants is supposed to stand down no matter what
no way someone making $12/hr is going to lose their job telling a bunch of protesters they can't buy milk. Maybe believable if they were doing something anti-cop like the fast food workers who refuse to serve them and get fired every so often

Apply that same policy to Walmart, Kroger/Frys/Fred Myers/Safeway-Albertsons/Dollar Tree/etc.

Same policies across the board. And it's not that the $12/hour person wouldn't do it for the pay, they're forbidden. It's a termination-level action.

The anti-cop shit doesn't fly either. Policy gives officers special parking spaces, and if lines are long, new lanes are supposed to be open specifically to fast track uniformed officers.

The midway Cub Foods has the same policy. Workers are told not to confront shop-lifters.

My reason is basic logic. Could it be true, sure. Even if it is does it justify looting 30 or so businesses that's aren't even target? Of course not.

I'm not interested in "is it justified". That's an opinion that will vary wildly depending on your personal experience.

I was more interested in why, and I see it as a fairly probable state of affairs that a manager at that Target told the staff 'Don't sell to protesters, we don't want them crowding the store and making other customers feel threatened' and then yadda yadda here we are.

guess this means its accelerating in a bad way tonight

"Port of Minneapols and Washington, report of topless W female in distress inside a vehicle with three B males."

"Groups turning "very violent" in St. Paul against police. Bottles, rocks, metal parts being thrown at police."

"27xx Minnehaha, report of stabbing. Person said they were attacked by 20 and stabbed in the leg."

"Just had to tell my 80 yr old Mom to stay home. She had no idea what's going on with the looting right now. NEWS FLASH to #MNmedia: This should be wall-to-wall live coverage on ur networks. My Mom isn't on Twitter, nor are many other people who need to know that gangs are roving."

ye old mobs of rioting black men gang raping white women

U think dont sell to protesters because we want to maintain business in an impending crisis is what happened? From a corporation that has a policy not to even confront shoplifters?

That's a big lol from me dog

You guys keep saying "from a corporation"

"the corporation" doesn't actively manage the day to day activity at any particular target. It's the management in the store making the day to day, hour to hour decisions.

management that's told by corporate they'll be fired on the spot if they do anything like that, and workers who go through mandatory training saying they'll be fired on the spot if they do anything like that
any protester could literally walk into a target, grab a gallon of milk and walk out without paying, nobody is going to stop them on a good day much less during a riot
that target was evacuated prior to the looting, you can see people breaking the doors and windows to gain access to it and then loot everything and burn it down, all of which occurred after their confrontations with the police which was after it was evacuated
that timeline makes no sense

Ok. So u think a manager looked at a few dozen or more people reeling from tear gas and just said nope no milk for u, we need to sell overpriced t shirts.

You'd have to have a 40 IQ to not realize you're going to get looted instantly. Even u cited it being a crowd that would scare away customers.

Like it just doesn't make sense. Goes against company policy and common sense.
