A business dispute wherein public safety or property theft are involved, sure... but not when someone is irate about their service. Unless that escalates to the former, it should not require police presence.

    If I pay for X and don't receive what I paid for, is that not theft? If the police are going to get involved then it should go both ways as a company stealing from customers is every bit as wrong as customers stealing from a company

    It could very well be an innocent mistake made by an over-worked, underpaid staffer.

    Do you really think the best way to resolve that situation is to call some bored gun-toting police officer to wave their metaphorical dick at them so you don't have to be nice and ask for something instead of demanding satisfaction like a medieval fop?

    Is money belonging to an individual not their property? What about wage theft claims, where a business doesn't pay employees or takes their tips? Why is that a civil dispute? Cops usually only protect businesses and now people are upset when they gave the same courtesy to someone alleging they didn't get what they paid for.

    When they abuse power to give courtesy to themselves and no one else. "wHy ArE yOu MaD?"

    What about wage theft claims, where a business doesn't pay employees or takes their tips?

    They never show up for these, unless it's to assault and terrorize employees and protesters.

    You really are quite the deluded boot licker, aren't you?
