  1. San Francisco has become the laughing stock of California. Politicians are a bunch of C L O W N S.

  2. Useless for the police to catch those burglars yet the law just let them loose!

  3. Sad, very sad, 3 times the man store been rob and no arrest, how long can one stays in business. It's nice to go to a store and reacts with sales personnel, but when it comes to the point It's no longer viable to keeps stores open on-line shopping seems to be the future's. Very sad what's be coming the World's. Many years past when windows shopping after sunsets was a pleasure and escape from the house where one meets a friend and does windows shopping, now there's FEARS OF leaving house of getting rob or hurt even getting killed. GOD HELP US THE HUMAN RACE FOR WE'VE LOST IT ALL INSANITY SEEMS TO BE THE RULES. ✌ ☮.

  4. World war will stop commerce. Crime will get more intense.

    Time to leave cities.

  5. Storefronts no more. Commerce is ending.

  6. What's the problem here? They don't want business owners to be allowed to share there cameras?

  7. Liberal violence is out of control

  8. Great idea that's the future of policeing.

  9. That could've been avoided with metal bars & steel shutters, sad.

  10. If ignorance is bliss why are republicans always so angry? 🤷

  11. Cameras, facial recognition, drones. I like it. You could reduce the number of useless cops, and put the good ones to good use.
