Economic Development, one high-speed car chase into South Sac at a time
Everything about this is wrong. Wal Mart is not only an unfair employer, they are indeed a crime magnet. So we taxpayers have to pay to rid the area of the thugs who go there.
Then, is it really necessary for the EGPD to engage in this sort of pursuit? One of these days one of these shoplifting incidents is going to end in the serious injury or worse of some innocent bystander. And for what, shoplifting of some clothes or small electronics. It is just not worth the risk/
