    I could see cops organizing something where they entice a tweaker to rob the place while they stand right outside going “darn, if only we could do something… 😂!”

      I mean, they would have exigent circumstances, so if they sat around watching a store get robbed, and did nothing about it, that would still be their fault. They wouldn’t have to stop the perp from doing whatever in the store, but if they just let him go, that would be aiding and abetting.

        For real, what would they do otherwise? Show up super late to the crime scene? Launch and “investigation” that takes months?? Let the investigation fizzle out and result no true resolution or justice??? Let the insurance do the real work???

        That is them getting involved, by manufacturing a situation that otherwise wouldn’t have occurred
