Crazy... too bad the security guard didn't try harder to grab the bag but I believe they are told to not get violent... if he hurt the guy, his family would sue the store and city and probably win with the idiot voters we have in SF. It reminds me of shortly after graduating college, buying my first car and paying rent for a jr 1 bedroom next to a lumberyard by the train tracks across the street from Palo Alto.... only way I could afford living close to work... I went shopping at a super market for a lunch sandwich on the Palo Alto side of the freeway with the grocery store that served East Palo Alto... a food desert. I was shocked to see an armed guard at the front of the store. While in line, the person in front of me had a basket full of NY Steaks that she paid for with food stamps while I ate chicken and cheap "London Broil" steaks at home so I could pay off my car loan quicker without the aid of food stamps. I wonder if the infamous "Marina Safeway" in SF has ready made food at the front of the store like they do in other areas...

A clear example of "systematic racism" of the type I admit to back when I was an HP recruiter at CAL... I used to say "if the target minority group applicant could fog a mirror and graduate UC, we'd hire them if they wanted to be an engineer."

Lyanne Melendez, a long-time local reporter, took that video on her day off. Here is a larger story today abc7news.com "That's when he sort of ran into me with his bicycle," said ABC7 News reporter, Lyanne Melendez, who took the cell phone video while she was shopping at the Hayes Valley Walgreens on Fell and Gough Streets on her day off work. She was not injured. "It's hard for me as a journalist to say 'I won't be involved, I can't get involved,' I have to be sort of neutral, but this is also my city. I live in this city and I see this constantly. Not only Walgreens, but cars, and my garage door has been broken into twice." RELATED: Video shows teen setting woman's hair on fire on San Francisco Muni bus In the past year and a half, Melendez says she has witnessed three of these out-in-the-open shoplifting sprees at different Walgreens throughout San Francisco. "At what point do we say enough is enough, we want our city back," she asked. Unable to justify profit crushing theft, stores are closing. "Seventeen Walgreens over the last five years, almost every Gap retail outlet is gone, CVS is under assault," said San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safai.
